Jean Racine: Four Greek Plays: Andromache-Iphigenia, Phaedra-Athaliah
Jean Racine
Racine's poetry is always thought to be untranslatable; so one of the world's great dramatists remains inaccessible to readers without French. This is the best translation into English; Professor Knight has used a regular English blank verse which conveys remarkably well both the formality and the passion of the original. The plays chosen here are Andromache, Iphigenia, Phaedra and Athaliah.
