- Summary:
- Following three volumes devoted to Jean Racine’s earlier theatre, this volume examines his two late tragedies inspired by Greek myth, Iphigénie (1674) and Phèdre (1677). This international collection of essays by experts in the field covers a wide range of themes and approaches, including mythological, literary and environmental contexts, interpretation of the characters, staging, performance, reception, adaptation, and translation. With Phèdre traditionally having garnered more attention than Iphigénie , this sustained consideration of the two works in tandem with each other throws exciting new light upon a dramatist at the height of his theatrical powers.
