Word as Action: Racine, Rhetoric, and Theatrical Language - Oxford Modern Languages and Literature Monographs
Hawcroft, Michael (Fellow and Tutor in French, Fellow and Tutor in French, Keble College, Oxford)
Explores the theatricality of Jean Racine's language and takes as its analytical tool two relatively neglected parts of rhetoric ("inventio" and "dispositio"), highlighting the dramatic excitement created by characters who constantly engage in verbal battle trying to dominate those around them.
