This edition brings together two tragedies of seventeenth-century French theatre: Andromache and Phaedra.

In the second, Queen Phaedra is consumed by a forbidden love that unleashes jealousy and destruction.

Aimed at literature students and lovers of classical theatre who wish to approach Racine's tragedies.
Jean-Baptiste Racine was a French dramatist, one of the three great playwrights of 17th-century France, along with Molière and Corneille, as well as an important literary figure in the Western tradition and world literature. Racine was primarily a tragedian, producing such "examples of neoclassical perfection" as Phèdre, Andromaque, and Athalie. He did write one comedy, Les Plaideurs, and a muted tragedy, Esther, for the young.
