    "As Voltaire famously opined, Athaliah, Racine's last play, is "perhaps the greatest masterwork of the human spirit." Its formidable antagonists, Athaliah, queen of Judah, and Jehoiada, high priest of the temple of Jerusalem, are engaged in a deadly struggle for dominion: she, fiercely determined to maintain her throne and exterminate the detested race of David; he, no less fiercely determined to overthrow this heathen queen and enthrone the orphan Joash, the scion of the house of David, whom Athaliah believes she slew as an infant ten years earlier. This boy represents the sole hope for the survival of the royal race from which is to spring the Christ. But in this play, even God is more about hate and retribution than about love and mercy. This is the fourth volume of a projected translation into English of all twelve of Jean Racine's plays--only the third time such a project has been undertaken. For this new translation, Geoffrey Alan Argent has rendered these plays in the verse form that Racine might well have used had he been English: namely, the "heroic" couplet. Argent has exploited the couplet's compressed power and flexibility to produce a work of English literature, a verse drama as gripping in English as Racine's is in French. Complementing the translation are the illuminating discussion, intended as much to provoke discussion as to provide it, and the extensive notes and commentary, which offer their own fresh and thought-provoking insights."--Project Muse

    "In a charming collection of elegant essays, one of the twentieth century's leading men of letters turns his vast knowledge and worldly authority to the texts of two seventeenth-century French dramatists. Louis Auchincloss considers sixteen plays by Pierre Corneille (1606-84) and his younger theatrical rival, Jean Racine (1639-99). Musing on the ideas that informed the court of the Sun King and on what classical allusions meant to them, Auchincloss offers thoughtful readings, new translations, and a wealth of shrewd observations about French classic tragedy, passion, self-sacrifice, self-aggrandizement, and civic and military glory." "Auchincloss lets the grand voices of Corneille's and Racine's heroes and heroines speak, while calling attention to details and discoveries that illumine aspects of both seventeenth-century and twentieth-century culture. He specifically considers the theme of gloire - the lofty destiny or mission that the hero (and more rarely the heroine) has set for himself and for which he would willingly sacrifice the most passionate romance, closest friendship, or dearest family ties. While gloire is more commonly associated with Corneille than with Racine, Auchincloss demonstrates that these French masters were capable of swapping predilections when it came to the Roman plays."--Jacket Horace -- Sophonisbe -- Nicomede -- Sertorius -- Mithridate -- La Mort de Pompee -- Cinna -- Britannicus -- Othon -- Tite et Berenice -- Polyeucte -- Theodore and Pulcherie -- Attila -- Surena.

    Preliminary Material -- Préface -- Introduction -- Le mythe de l'authenticité -- Dramaturgie de Britannicus -- 1669 : L' (auto-)construction du mythe racinien poético-classique -- La construction du mythe historique au XVIIIe siècle : les interprétations de Lekain et de Talma -- Mounet-Sully et la construction du mythe psychosexuel -- Andre Antoine ou la deconstruction involontaire. la version queer de Britannicus -- Le Britannicus de Michel Hermon. deconstruction iconoclaste et construction du mythe psychosexuel -- La déconstruction formelle l'étrangéification Vitézienne -- Brigitte Jaques-Wajeman : le retour à la lettre ou une nouvelle reconstruction du mythe racinien -- Conclusions -- régistre des spectacles analysés -- Bibliographie. À la base de cette étude se trouvent des questions très simples, mais tellement fondamentales qu’on oublie souvent de les poser. Pourquoi le théâtre français est-il tellement “français”, par exemple lorsqu’on met en scène un auteur comme Racine? Quelles constructions identitaires, quelles catégories idéologiques étayent cette pratique ? Et quels facteurs contextuels, à la fois politiques et sociaux, influencent, contestent, contaminent ces constructions ? Abordant à la fois des questions liées à l’histoire du théâtre et des problèmes qui touchent à l’analyse culturelle, Le mythe de l’authenticité analyse l’impact de certains facteurs contextuels sur le processus de canonisation et les modes de représentation d’une seule pièce canonique : Britannicus de Jean Racine (1669). Quel serait le lien entre le personnage de Néron et le roi de France ? Qu’aurait pensé Napoléon de l’interprétation de ce même personnage par son acteur favori Talma ? Quels facteurs furent à la base de l’interprétation psychosexuelle et puis psychanalytique (à la française) de cette pièce ? Et comment l’interprétation de Britannicus par André Antoine pourrait-elle être appelée queer ? Le mythe de l’authenticité démontre ainsi comment cette tragédie romaine fut, depuis sa création jusqu’à nos jours, déconstruite et reconstruite par des artistes aussi divers que Le Kain, Talma, Mounet-Sully, André Antoine, Michel Hermon, Antoine Vitez, Brigitte Jaques-Wajeman et bien d’autres
