Phèdre est une tragédie en cinq actes et en vers de Jean Racine. La pièce comporte 1 654 alexandrins. Inspirée de la mythologie grecque, la pièce met en scène l'amour incestueux conçu par Phèdre, femme de Thésée, pour Hippolyte, fils de Thésée et d'une Amazone. Racine, même s'il affecte de laisser à d'autres le soin d'en juger, laisse entendre dans sa préface qu'il voit en cette pièce " la meilleure de ses tragédies "

The 17th century dramatist Jean Racine was considered, along with Molière and Corneille, as one of the three great playwrights of his era. The quality of Racine's poetry has been described as possibly his most important contribution to French literature and his use of the alexandrine poetic line is one of the best examples of such use noted for its harmony, simplicity and elegance. While critics over the centuries have debated the worth of Jean Racine, at present, he is widely considered a literary genius of revolutionary proportions. In this volume of Racine's plays we find «The Litigants», the fourth of twelve plays by the author. Inspired by Aristophanes' «Wasps», Racine removes all political significance in this farce. As the only comedy by Racine «The Litigants» stands apart from his other works. The action of the story revolves around Judge Dandin, who in his old age has begun to go crazy. Hilarity ensues as Leander, Dandin's son, and Petit Jean, a house porter, attempt to wrangle the out of control patriarch of the family.

In this volume of Racine's plays we find «Iphigenia, Phaedra, Athaliah», three of the most popular of the author's dramas. In «Iphigenia» we find the titular daughter of Agamemnon, King of the Greeks, who must sacrifice his daughter in order to set sail for war. In «Phaedra», we have the classic story from Greek mythology concerning its titular character who though married to Theseus falls in love with Hippolytus. And finally in «Athaliah» we find the biblical story of Athaliah, widow of the king of Judah, who rules the country as Queen regnant.

In this volume of Racine's plays we find «Phaedra», the tenth of twelve plays by the author. In «Phaedra» Racine returns to Greek mythology for his subject matter. This classic story concerns its titular character who though married to Theseus falls in love with Hippolytus. «Phaedra» was incredibly well received with praise from the likes of Voltaire who described the work as «the masterpiece of the human mind.» The drama remains to this day as one of Racine's most highly regarded works.

The quality of Racine's poetry has been described as possibly his most important contribution to French literature and his use of the alexandrine poetic line is one of the best examples of such use noted for its harmony, simplicity and elegance. While critics over the centuries have debated the worth of Jean Racine, at present, he is widely considered a literary genius of revolutionary proportions. In this volume of Racine's plays we find «Athaliah», the last of twelve plays by the author. Considering that it was Racine's final work it may comes as no surprise that it has been described as the masterpiece of «one of the greatest literary artists known.» Revered by Voltaire who saw it as «perhaps the masterpiece of mankind» and by Flaubert who referred to it as an «immortal masterpiece of the French stage.» The story itself concerns the biblical story of Athaliah, widow of the king of Judah who rules the country as Queen regnant. Believing that the rest of the royal family was been eliminated she abandons the Jewish religion for the worship of Baal.
