Phèdre: Édition bilingue (Penguin Classics)

Racineâ€™s play PhÃ¨dreâ€”which draws on Euripidesâ€™ tragedy Hippolytusâ€”is the supreme achievement of French neoclassic theater. In her amusing foreword, Margaret Rawlings explains how this particular translationâ€”made specifically from the actorâ€™s point-of-viewâ€”evolved from the 1957 Campbell Allen production.

Containing both the French and English texts on facing pages, as well as Racineâ€™s own preface and notes on his contemporary and classical references, this edition of PhÃ¨dre is a favorite among modern readers and is of special value to students, amateur companies, and repertory theaters alike. Translated and with a foreword by Margaret Rawlings.
