Condición: Gut. XIV, 193 S. / p. Schnitt fleckig, sonst tadelloser Zustand / Stained edges, otherwise in perfect condition - Jean Racine ( 1639 - 1699 ) is the greatest tragic dramatist of the French Classical Age, a privileged epoch that consciously sought to equal previous high moments of civilization, such as the periods of Alexander, Augustus, and the Medici. The miracle of Racine is the brilliance of his artistic career at the point in the history of western culture when the theater was under its heaviest attack. Thanks to the powerful impact of his plays, he triumphed both professionally and socially. Building on the work of Pierre Corneille, his predecessor and rival, he distinguished himself by offering a startling, new view of humanity in search of ways to compensate for a profound feeling of insecurity and incompleteness. Ronald W Tobin's compelling and comprehensive analysis presents Racine as an icon in French literature. His cosmic and disturbing vision broods over unsettling questions of good and evil, freedom and constraint, self and society, immanence and transcendence, origins and perspectives. Tobin provides a detailed explication of Racine's masterpiece Phèdre ( 1677 ) . His study also contains fresh insights into Racine's other plays and illuminates French classical drama as a whole. It examines critical appraisals received by the plays over the centuries, so that the portrait that emerges of the man and his work reflects the latest in contemporary scholarship on Jean Racine as a master craftsman of the theater. -- Starting with Andromaque ( 1667 ) , Racine changed the nature of serious drama and thus prepared the way for Ibsen, O'Neill, Beckett, and Artaud. To illustrate this filiation,Tobin offers full and complete readings of all of Racine's plays, including La Thébaïde, Alexandre le Grand, and Mithridate, which are not as widely read as the other dramatic works, and the playwright's one comedy, Les Plaideurs, often neglected by critics.
