DESCRIPTION
With research on Racine greatly intensified on the occasion of the third centenary of his death (1699-1999), this volume fits into the renewed interest for studies concerning the interrelation between religious-theological and biblical spheres and literary ones. What emerges is a discussion on the relationship between tragedy and sacred, a relationship starting from the Renaissance archetypes of the tragédie sainte following through Baroque to the Racine epoch.
