Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the deep connections between Racine's two renowned tragedies and the foundational religion of Judaism. Racine, a devout Catholic, drew inspiration from the monotheistic tradition of the Jews, a religion he saw as emphasizing the severe power of a supreme God. The author delves into Racine's depiction of the terrible and awe-inspiring aspects of the Jewish God, examining how this portrayal shaped the actions and motivations of the characters in these plays. While the book acknowledges the influence of modern scholarship in understanding the evolution of Jewish monotheism, it focuses on the specific interpretation of the religion as presented in Racine's works. Through a detailed analysis of the plays, the author reveals the thematic depth of Racine's exploration of religious themes, highlighting the significance of his insights into the power and complexity of the Jewish faith.
