Synopsis:
This collection contains the following: 'Britannicus' (M4 F3), 'Phaedra' (M3 F5), 'Athaliah' (M11 F4).
Racine's tragedies portray characters wrestling with ambition, treachery, religion, and love. In this translation, specially commissioned for The World's Classics series, C.H. Sisson has captured admirably the lucidity of Racine's language, both analytic and passionate, and the rhythm of his four-part Alexandrine, a combination that previous translators have consistently failed to achieve.
