Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and works of a prominent 17th-century French dramatist, exploring his contributions to the evolution of French tragedy. The author meticulously traces the development of French tragedy, from its origins in medieval mystery plays to its refinement by Renaissance playwrights like Jodelle and Garnier. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the dramatist's notable plays, including *Andromaque*, *Britannicus*, and *PhÃÂ dre*, highlighting his mastery of verse, his exploration of human passions, and his adherence to the conventions of classical tragedy.

By examining the dramatist's life and works within the broader context of 17th-century French literature and theater, this book provides a valuable understanding of his enduring legacy and his profound impact on the development of French classical tragedy.
