 Jean Racine
Racine was well educated at the school of a religious brotherhood at Port Royal, and, unlike most of the dramatists of the age, he knew Greek as well as Latin.
In 1670 Racine and Corneille were asked to write a play on the subject of Bérénice, though each was kept ignorant of the fact that the other was attempting the same theme.
Racine's genius, however, was something far beyond the mere negative virtue of avoiding intricate and improbable plots.

 Jean Racine - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
Jean Racine (December 22, 1639 - April 21, 1699) was a French dramatist, one of the "big three" of 17th century France (along with Molière and Corneille).
Born in La Ferte-Milan, Racine was orphaned in his youth and was given a classical education courtesy of his grandmother.
Tragedians often competed with alternative versions of the same plot: for example, Leclerc produced an Iphigénie in the same year as Racine (1674), and Pradon's Phèdre (1677).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jean Racine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
Racine, to quote his own words, always chose "a simple action, not overladen, which, progressing steadily to the catastrophe, is sustained by the interest, the feelings, and the passions of the characters." Again, while in Corneille the characters are secondary to the action, in Racine the action is suited to the characters.
Racine is the great painter of love, but love as he conceives it is always violent, impetuous, jealous, and sometimes criminal.
Racine was a sensitive, vain, and irritable man, with deeply religious feelings, and a keen, supple, and strong intellect.

 Biography of Jean Racine - French Dramatist
Racine's tightly structured dramas of obsessive and destructive love, particularly in women, remain among the masterpieces of world drama.
Sent (1655) to the Jansenist school at Port-Royal, Racine was profoundly influenced by their tenets while receiving a thorough classical education; his fusion of the Greek idea of fate with the Jansenist belief in human helplessness later produced unique tragedies of the struggle of the will against the passions.
As great a success as Corneille's Le Cid had been three decades earlier, Andromaque occasioned a great rivalry between the two dramatists that was intensified by Racine's treatment of the Corneillean theme of political strife in Britannicus (1669) and came to a climax with Berenice (1670).

Racine was a French dramatist, one of the "big three" of seventeenth-century France (along with Moliere and Corneille).
Born in La Ferte-Milan in 1639, Racine was a graduate of Port-Royal, a religious institution which would greatly influence other contemporary figures including Blaise Pascal.
After the failure of Phedre in 1677, Racine abruptly severed his connection with the stage, partly because he was weary of unjust criticism and unfair rivalry, and partly from conscientious motives.
