Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fifth volume of a projected translation into English of all twelve of Jean Racine’s plays. Geoffrey Alan Argent’s translations faithfully convey all the urgency and keen psychological insight of Racine’s dramas, and the coiled strength of his verse, while breathing new vigor into the time-honored form of the “heroic” couplet. Complementing this translation are the Discussion and the Notes and Commentary—particularly detailed and extensive for this volume, Britannicus being by far Racine’s most historically informed play. Also noteworthy is Argent’s reinstatement of an eighty-two-line scene, originally intended to open Act III, that has never before appeared in an English translation of this play. Britannicus, one of Racine’s greatest plays, dramatizes the crucial day when Nero—son of Agrippina and stepson of the late emperor Claudius—overcomes his mother, his wife Octavia, his tutors, and his vaunted “three virtuous years” in order to announce his omnipotence. He callously murders his innocent stepbrother, Britannicus, and effectively destroys Britannicus’s beloved, the virtuous Junia, as well. Racine may claim, in his first preface, that this tragedy “does not concern itself at all with affairs of the world at large,” but nothing could be further from the truth. The tragedy represented in Britannicus is precisely that of the Roman Empire, for in Nero Racine has created a character who embodies the most infamous qualities of that empire — its cruelty, its depravity, and its refined barbarity.

Book excerpt: L'oeuvre de Racine passe pour avoir amené la tragédie classique à son accomplissement et son harmonie4 . L'économie du propos, la rigueur de la construction (situation de crise menée à son acmé), la maîtrise de l'alexandrin et la profondeur de l'analyse psychologique ont élevé le corpus racinien au rang de modèle classique. Par son respect strict des unités de temps, de lieu et d'action, Racine refuse la primauté, la densité et l'héroïsme de l'action propres aux tragédies de Pierre Corneille, auquel il est souvent opposé. Il lui préfère un épurement de l'intrigue (parfois extrême, en particulier dans Bérénice) et l'intensité psychologique. Abandonnant le ton glorieux et moral du théâtre du début du xviie siècle, Racine soumet la vertu politique et la raison d'État, chères à Corneille, sous les contingences passionnelles. La passion soumet et détruit ses personnages tout-puissants (rois, empereurs, princesses) qui tentent en vain de lutter contre elle, perdant le sens du devoir jusqu'à la déraison ou la mort. Les passions, parmi lesquelles l'amour prime, sont le fondement du tragique racinien en ce qu'ils sont les instruments du destin. L'amour racinien suit en ordre général la structure du triangle amoureux, inexorable et cruel pour chacun des partis. Le fondement de ce tragique relève à ce titre de la confrontation de la démesure et de la déraison des passions avec l'humilité de la finitude des mortels. Les tragédies de Racine se fondent sur la conjonction de la crainte et de la pitié (les deux émotions fondamentales du théâtre antique5); la critique a souvent estimé que le dramaturge a ainsi cherché à associer la prédestination janséniste et le fatum antique. Consacré par la critique comme l'un des plus grands auteurs français de tragédies, il est l'un des trois dramaturges majeurs, avec Corneille et Molière, de la période classique en France. Aujourd'hui, il compte parmi les auteurs les plus joués à la Comédie-Française et dans le pays, et figure parmi les grandes références de la littérature universelle

Book excerpt: This is the first volume of a planned translation into English of all twelve of Jean Racine's plays--a project undertaken only three times in the three hundred years since Racine's death. For this new translation, Geoffrey Alan Argent has taken a fresh approach: he has rendered these plays in rhymed ";heroic"; couplets. While Argent's translation is faithful to Racine's text and tone, his overriding intent has been to translate a work of French literature into a work of English literature, substituting for Racine's rhymed alexandrines (hexameters) the English mode of rhymed iambic pentameters, a verse form particularly well suited to the highly charged urgency of Racine's drama and the coiled strength of his verse. Complementing the translations are the illuminating Discussions and the extensive Notes and Commentaries Argent has furnished for each play. The Discussions are not offered as definitive interpretations of these plays, but are intended to stimulate readers to form their own views and to explore further the inexhaustibly rich world of Racine's plays. Included in the Notes and Commentary section of this translation are passages that Racine deleted after the first edition and have never before appeared in English.The full title of Racine's first tragedy is La Thébaïde ou les Frères ennemis (The Saga of Thebes, or The Enemy Brothers). But Racine was far less concerned with recounting the struggle for Thebes than in examining those indomitable passions--in this case, hatred--that were to prove his lifelong focus of interest. For Oedipus's sons, Eteocles and Polynices (the titular brothers), vying for the throne is rather a symptom than a cause of their unquenchable hatred--so unquenchable that by the end of the play it has not only destroyed these twin brothers, but has also claimed the lives of their mother, their sister, their uncle, and their two cousins as collateral damage. Indeed, as Racine acknowledges in his preface, "There is hardly a character in it who does not die at the end."
