Jean B. Racine Book order

Jean-Baptiste Racine stands as a towering figure of 17th-century French drama, recognized as one of the "big three" playwrights of his era. His work is distinguished by profound psychological insight, the intense passions that drive his characters, and a stark, unadorned approach to both plot and stagecraft. Though primarily a master of tragedy, he also ventured into comedy. Racine's plays explore the devastating impact of overwhelming emotions and the complex interplay of fate and human will.
