Jean Racine

Jean Racine was the supreme tragedian of French classical drama — alongside Corneille — whose plays Andromaque (1667), Phèdre (1677), and Athalie (1691) are models of the neoclassical unities and the concentrated portrayal of destructive passion. He was educated by the Jansenists at Port-Royal, an influence that left its mark on his vision of human nature as fundamentally fallen. After Phèdre he retired from the stage for twelve years, returning only at the king's request for two biblical plays. He is buried at Port-Royal-des-Champs.
