Phèdre is a French tragic play in five acts by Jean Racine, based on Greek mythology and the play Hippolytus by Euripides. It tells the story of Phèdre, wife of Theseus, who falls in love with her stepson Hippolyte. When Hippolyte rejects her advances, Phèdre accuses him of rape, leading to his tragic death and, ultimately, her own. Racine’s play is a masterpiece of French classicism, known for its powerful emotions, elegant language, and exploration of themes such as love, guilt, and fate.This edition, likely published around 1910, offers readers the timeless drama of Racine’s 'Phèdre', accompanied by insightful commentary or analysis, possibly by Irving Babbitt. A cornerstone of French literature, 'Phèdre' continues to resonate with audiences today due to its profound examination of human passions and its enduring influence on Western theater.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
