Informazioni sull'autore

Jean Racine (1639 - 1699) was one of the most important of 17th-century literary figures in the Western tradition. Primarily a classicist and tragedian his most famous plays include Phedra and Andromaque. In 1677, when he had ten plays to his credit and was greatly admired by both the court and the public, he abandoned the theatre, which was regarded as far from respectable by the Church, and joined the Establishment as Royal Historiographer. It was only after a silence of twelve years that he wrote his last two plays (both on religious subjects), Esther and Athaliah. He died in 1699.
