Racine,Theatre Et Poesie: Actes Du Troisieme Colloque Vinaver,Manchester 1987 (Vinaver Studies in French Series)

The 1987 The Vinaver Colloquium on Racine, held in Manchester in 1987, brought together an international gathering of scholars, whose contributions ranged over a variety of topics, including lexis, prosody and musicality, theatrical technique and tragic vision, ritual and mythic inspiration. The collected papers, firmly modern in their different approaches, are a fruitful continuation of Eugène Vinaver's own work on Racine. Papers in French are summarised in English and vice versa.
