Reviews

This book approaches Racine not primarily as a classicist, but as a playwright rooted in his own time... Through references to philosophy, art and music, Wygant interrogates the meaning of frequently used phrases such as the music of Racine . This study draws together many strands of research through the juxtaposition of a multiplicity of areas and details.--Rosemary Arnoux New Zealand Journal of French Studies, 22.2, 2001, 43-4 A fresh, clever, often entertaining book, about lots of things as well as Phedre, and the brief volume is lavishly and revealing illustrated.--Richard Parish Modern Language Review, 96.1, 2001, 187-8
