The three works in this volume established Racine as a playwright who enjoyed high favor both with the public and at the court of Louis XIV Born on December 20, 1639, Jean Racine was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, who took the boy with her to the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris after she was widowed. Racine's teachers at the convent were members of a reform movement known as Jansenism. Although they were suspected by the French monarchy of being theologically and politically subversive, these monks provided the young Racine with a good education, allowing him the opportunity to study Latin and Greek classics under their tutelage, a privilege most young writers could only dream of.From 1649 to 1653, Racine studied at Port-Royal. He then transferred to the College of Beauvais where he studied for two years before returning to Port-Royal to complete his studies in rhetoric. After turning 18, the Jansenists sent him to Paris to study law at the College of Harcourt. Here, Racine fell in with a crowd of "theatrical" types and decided to try his hand as a dramatist in spite of the fact that the Jansenists disapproved of the theatre. His first play, Amasie, was purchased by the Bourgogne company, but was never produced. However, as luck would have it, Racine was soon befriended by Moli who produced his second play, Thebaide, in 1664. Although Racine's next play, Andromache (1667), was also originally produced by Moliere's troupe, Racine was unhappy with the production and gave the text to the Bourgogne company--who was more skilled at tragedy--for a second production. The one element of Molieres production with which Racine was enamored was the leading actress, Thse du Parc. After seducing the young actress, Racine convinced her to leave Moliere's troupe and join him at the H de Bourgogne. Moli, who had kept the doors open for Thebaide even when the production was running at a loss, was deeply hurt by this betrayal and never spoke to Racine again.Racine went on to compose a string of successful tragedies, all of which would be presented by the H de Bourgogne. His next play, The Litigants (1668), a rare excursion into the world of comic satire, was adapted from Aristophanes' The Wasps. However, Racine quickly returned to the serious business of tragedy with Britannicus (1669) which chronicles the story of Agrippa, mother of the Roman emperor Nero, who begins to regret the decision to give her son power after he falls under the influence of an evil counselor named Narcissus. Iphigenia in Aulis (1674) is Racine's version of the events leading to the sacrifice of Iphigenia to appease the gods, and his masterpiece, Phe (1677), based on Euripides' Hippolytus, is a remarkable exploration of a woman's passion for her husband's son. Racine's other plays include Bnice (1670), Bajazet (1672), and Mithridate (1673).By 1677, Racine had achieved a remarkable amount of success for a playwright. In fact he was the first French playwright to live almost entirely off the earnings from his plays. And the role of Phedre was so popular that it quickly became the pi de resistance of practically every French tragedienne. However, Racine had managed to acquire a large number of powerful enemies, many of whom supported the older playwright, Pierre Corneille. These enemies were determined to destroy Racine's career and even went so far as to buy tickets for the opening night of Phe, only to leave their seats unoccupied, thus casting a chill over the performance. Racine was so wounded by such antics that, in 1677, he decided to retire from the commercial theatre, and accept the post of royal historiographer. Along with his friend Nicolas Boileau, Racine set about chronicling the reign of Louis XIV.After reconciling with the Jansenists, Racine--who had built quite a reputation for seducing young actresses--was provided with a pious wife who never read a single line of his plays and with whom he would have seven children. There is evidence, however, that Racine did not give up his philandering altogether. In 1679, he was accused of having poisoned his mistress and star actress, the Marquise du Parc. Fortunately for Racine, no formal charges were ever filed.In spite of Racine's retirement, his work for the stage was not quite done. Madame de Maintenon, Louis XIV's consort, had been somewhat responsible for Racine's retirement in that she had helped to secure for him the position of royal historiographer. Ironically enough, she would also be responsible for his return to the stage when she requested that he write two biblical plays for her girls' school at St. Cyr. Esther (1689) tells the story of Haman and the Jewish queen who risks her own life to save her people from certain destruction. And Athalie (1690) tells the story of an idol-worshipping queen who has a prophetic dream of her own death after coming to power by murdering the royal family. Both of these plays were well received, but they would be Racine's last offerings for the stage. He spent the remainder of his life serving various posts for the King and editing his complete works. On April 21, 1699, Racine died from cancer of the liver. The book is approximately 5 X 8 inches in size and contains 184 pages.

The three works in this volume established Racine as a playwright who enjoyed high favor both with the public and at the court of Louis XIV Born on December 20, 1639, Jean Racine was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, who took the boy with her to the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris after she was widowed. Racine's teachers at the convent were members of a reform movement known as Jansenism. Although they were suspected by the French monarchy of being theologically and politically subversive, these monks provided the young Racine with a good education, allowing him the opportunity to study Latin and Greek classics under their tutelage, a privilege most young writers could only dream of.From 1649 to 1653, Racine studied at Port-Royal. He then transferred to the College of Beauvais where he studied for two years before returning to Port-Royal to complete his studies in rhetoric. After turning 18, the Jansenists sent him to Paris to study law at the College of Harcourt. Here, Racine fell in with a crowd of "theatrical" types and decided to try his hand as a dramatist in spite of the fact that the Jansenists disapproved of the theatre. His first play, Amasie, was purchased by the Bourgogne company, but was never produced. However, as luck would have it, Racine was soon befriended by Moli who produced his second play, Thebaide, in 1664. Although Racine's next play, Andromache (1667), was also originally produced by Moliere's troupe, Racine was unhappy with the production and gave the text to the Bourgogne company--who was more skilled at tragedy--for a second production. The one element of Molieres production with which Racine was enamored was the leading actress, Thse du Parc. After seducing the young actress, Racine convinced her to leave Moliere's troupe and join him at the H de Bourgogne. Moli, who had kept the doors open for Thebaide even when the production was running at a loss, was deeply hurt by this betrayal and never spoke to Racine again.Racine went on to compose a string of successful tragedies, all of which would be presented by the H de Bourgogne. His next play, The Litigants (1668), a rare excursion into the world of comic satire, was adapted from Aristophanes' The Wasps. However, Racine quickly returned to the serious business of tragedy with Britannicus (1669) which chronicles the story of Agrippa, mother of the Roman emperor Nero, who begins to regret the decision to give her son power after he falls under the influence of an evil counselor named Narcissus. Iphigenia in Aulis (1674) is Racine's version of the events leading to the sacrifice of Iphigenia to appease the gods, and his masterpiece, Phe (1677), based on Euripides' Hippolytus, is a remarkable exploration of a woman's passion for her husband's son. Racine's other plays include Bnice (1670), Bajazet (1672), and Mithridate (1673).By 1677, Racine had achieved a remarkable amount of success for a playwright. In fact he was the first French playwright to live almost entirely off the earnings from his plays. And the role of Phedre was so popular that it quickly became the pi de resistance of practically every French tragedienne. However, Racine had managed to acquire a large number of powerful enemies, many of whom supported the older playwright, Pierre Corneille. These enemies were determined to destroy Racine's career and even went so far as to buy tickets for the opening night of Phe, only to leave their seats unoccupied, thus casting a chill over the performance. Racine was so wounded by such antics that, in 1677, he decided to retire from the commercial theatre, and accept the post of royal historiographer. Along with his friend Nicolas Boileau, Racine set about chronicling the reign of Louis XIV.After reconciling with the Jansenists, Racine--who had built quite a reputation for seducing young actresses--was provided with a pious wife who never read a single line of his plays and with whom he would have seven children. There is evidence, however, that Racine did not give up his philandering altogether. In 1679, he was accused of having poisoned his mistress and star actress, the Marquise du Parc. Fortunately for Racine, no formal charges were ever filed.In spite of Racine's retirement, his work for the stage was not quite done. Madame de Maintenon, Louis XIV's consort, had been somewhat responsible for Racine's retirement in that she had helped to secure for him the position of royal historiographer. Ironically enough, she would also be responsible for his return to the stage when she requested that he write two biblical plays for her girls' school at St. Cyr. Esther (1689) tells the story of Haman and the Jewish queen who risks her own life to save her people from certain destruction. And Athalie (1690) tells the story of an idol-worshipping queen who has a prophetic dream of her own death after coming to power by murdering the royal family. Both of these plays were well received, but they would be Racine's last offerings for the stage. He spent the remainder of his life serving various posts for the King and editing his complete works. On April 21, 1699, Racine died from cancer of the liver. The book is approximately 5 X 8 inches in size and contains 184 pages.

The three works in this volume established Racine as a playwright who enjoyed high favor both with the public and at the court of Louis XIV Born on December 20, 1639, Jean Racine was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, who took the boy with her to the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris after she was widowed. Racine's teachers at the convent were members of a reform movement known as Jansenism. Although they were suspected by the French monarchy of being theologically and politically subversive, these monks provided the young Racine with a good education, allowing him the opportunity to study Latin and Greek classics under their tutelage, a privilege most young writers could only dream of.From 1649 to 1653, Racine studied at Port-Royal. He then transferred to the College of Beauvais where he studied for two years before returning to Port-Royal to complete his studies in rhetoric. After turning 18, the Jansenists sent him to Paris to study law at the College of Harcourt. Here, Racine fell in with a crowd of "theatrical" types and decided to try his hand as a dramatist in spite of the fact that the Jansenists disapproved of the theatre. His first play, Amasie, was purchased by the Bourgogne company, but was never produced. However, as luck would have it, Racine was soon befriended by Moli who produced his second play, Thebaide, in 1664. Although Racine's next play, Andromache (1667), was also originally produced by Moliere's troupe, Racine was unhappy with the production and gave the text to the Bourgogne company--who was more skilled at tragedy--for a second production. The one element of Molieres production with which Racine was enamored was the leading actress, Thse du Parc. After seducing the young actress, Racine convinced her to leave Moliere's troupe and join him at the H de Bourgogne. Moli, who had kept the doors open for Thebaide even when the production was running at a loss, was deeply hurt by this betrayal and never spoke to Racine again.Racine went on to compose a string of successful tragedies, all of which would be presented by the H de Bourgogne. His next play, The Litigants (1668), a rare excursion into the world of comic satire, was adapted from Aristophanes' The Wasps. However, Racine quickly returned to the serious business of tragedy with Britannicus (1669) which chronicles the story of Agrippa, mother of the Roman emperor Nero, who begins to regret the decision to give her son power after he falls under the influence of an evil counselor named Narcissus. Iphigenia in Aulis (1674) is Racine's version of the events leading to the sacrifice of Iphigenia to appease the gods, and his masterpiece, Phe (1677), based on Euripides' Hippolytus, is a remarkable exploration of a woman's passion for her husband's son. Racine's other plays include Bnice (1670), Bajazet (1672), and Mithridate (1673).By 1677, Racine had achieved a remarkable amount of success for a playwright. In fact he was the first French playwright to live almost entirely off the earnings from his plays. And the role of Phedre was so popular that it quickly became the pi de resistance of practically every French tragedienne. However, Racine had managed to acquire a large number of powerful enemies, many of whom supported the older playwright, Pierre Corneille. These enemies were determined to destroy Racine's career and even went so far as to buy tickets for the opening night of Phe, only to leave their seats unoccupied, thus casting a chill over the performance. Racine was so wounded by such antics that, in 1677, he decided to retire from the commercial theatre, and accept the post of royal historiographer. Along with his friend Nicolas Boileau, Racine set about chronicling the reign of Louis XIV.After reconciling with the Jansenists, Racine--who had built quite a reputation for seducing young actresses--was provided with a pious wife who never read a single line of his plays and with whom he would have seven children. There is evidence, however, that Racine did not give up his philandering altogether. In 1679, he was accused of having poisoned his mistress and star actress, the Marquise du Parc. Fortunately for Racine, no formal charges were ever filed.In spite of Racine's retirement, his work for the stage was not quite done. Madame de Maintenon, Louis XIV's consort, had been somewhat responsible for Racine's retirement in that she had helped to secure for him the position of royal historiographer. Ironically enough, she would also be responsible for his return to the stage when she requested that he write two biblical plays for her girls' school at St. Cyr. Esther (1689) tells the story of Haman and the Jewish queen who risks her own life to save her people from certain destruction. And Athalie (1690) tells the story of an idol-worshipping queen who has a prophetic dream of her own death after coming to power by murdering the royal family. Both of these plays were well received, but they would be Racine's last offerings for the stage. He spent the remainder of his life serving various posts for the King and editing his complete works. On April 21, 1699, Racine died from cancer of the liver. The book is approximately 5 X 8 inches in size and contains 184 pages.

The three works in this volume established Racine as a playwright who enjoyed high favor both with the public and at the court of Louis XIV Born on December 20, 1639, Jean Racine was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, who took the boy with her to the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris after she was widowed. Racine's teachers at the convent were members of a reform movement known as Jansenism. Although they were suspected by the French monarchy of being theologically and politically subversive, these monks provided the young Racine with a good education, allowing him the opportunity to study Latin and Greek classics under their tutelage, a privilege most young writers could only dream of.From 1649 to 1653, Racine studied at Port-Royal. He then transferred to the College of Beauvais where he studied for two years before returning to Port-Royal to complete his studies in rhetoric. After turning 18, the Jansenists sent him to Paris to study law at the College of Harcourt. Here, Racine fell in with a crowd of "theatrical" types and decided to try his hand as a dramatist in spite of the fact that the Jansenists disapproved of the theatre. His first play, Amasie, was purchased by the Bourgogne company, but was never produced. However, as luck would have it, Racine was soon befriended by Moli who produced his second play, Thebaide, in 1664. Although Racine's next play, Andromache (1667), was also originally produced by Moliere's troupe, Racine was unhappy with the production and gave the text to the Bourgogne company--who was more skilled at tragedy--for a second production. The one element of Molieres production with which Racine was enamored was the leading actress, Thse du Parc. After seducing the young actress, Racine convinced her to leave Moliere's troupe and join him at the H de Bourgogne. Moli, who had kept the doors open for Thebaide even when the production was running at a loss, was deeply hurt by this betrayal and never spoke to Racine again.Racine went on to compose a string of successful tragedies, all of which would be presented by the H de Bourgogne. His next play, The Litigants (1668), a rare excursion into the world of comic satire, was adapted from Aristophanes' The Wasps. However, Racine quickly returned to the serious business of tragedy with Britannicus (1669) which chronicles the story of Agrippa, mother of the Roman emperor Nero, who begins to regret the decision to give her son power after he falls under the influence of an evil counselor named Narcissus. Iphigenia in Aulis (1674) is Racine's version of the events leading to the sacrifice of Iphigenia to appease the gods, and his masterpiece, Phe (1677), based on Euripides' Hippolytus, is a remarkable exploration of a woman's passion for her husband's son. Racine's other plays include Bnice (1670), Bajazet (1672), and Mithridate (1673).By 1677, Racine had achieved a remarkable amount of success for a playwright. In fact he was the first French playwright to live almost entirely off the earnings from his plays. And the role of Phedre was so popular that it quickly became the pi de resistance of practically every French tragedienne. However, Racine had managed to acquire a large number of powerful enemies, many of whom supported the older playwright, Pierre Corneille. These enemies were determined to destroy Racine's career and even went so far as to buy tickets for the opening night of Phe, only to leave their seats unoccupied, thus casting a chill over the performance. Racine was so wounded by such antics that, in 1677, he decided to retire from the commercial theatre, and accept the post of royal historiographer. Along with his friend Nicolas Boileau, Racine set about chronicling the reign of Louis XIV.After reconciling with the Jansenists, Racine--who had built quite a reputation for seducing young actresses--was provided with a pious wife who never read a single line of his plays and with whom he would have seven children. There is evidence, however, that Racine did not give up his philandering altogether. In 1679, he was accused of having poisoned his mistress and star actress, the Marquise du Parc. Fortunately for Racine, no formal charges were ever filed.In spite of Racine's retirement, his work for the stage was not quite done. Madame de Maintenon, Louis XIV's consort, had been somewhat responsible for Racine's retirement in that she had helped to secure for him the position of royal historiographer. Ironically enough, she would also be responsible for his return to the stage when she requested that he write two biblical plays for her girls' school at St. Cyr. Esther (1689) tells the story of Haman and the Jewish queen who risks her own life to save her people from certain destruction. And Athalie (1690) tells the story of an idol-worshipping queen who has a prophetic dream of her own death after coming to power by murdering the royal family. Both of these plays were well received, but they would be Racine's last offerings for the stage. He spent the remainder of his life serving various posts for the King and editing his complete works. On April 21, 1699, Racine died from cancer of the liver. The book is approximately 5 X 8 inches in size and contains 184 pages.

In the tradition of Howard Zinn's The People's History of the United States, Peter Irons brings to the history of our Supreme Court the "human touch" (San Diego Union) of the first-person stories of his own classic book The Courage of Their Convictions. This sweeping account of the Supreme Court traces its path from the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to its controversial rulings on free speech, racial segregation, abortion, and gay rights.
"When Peter Irons looks at an institution," says Kenneth Karst of UCLA Law School, "he sees the people who are its lifeblood." A People's History of the Supreme Court views that vital institution from both sides of the mahogany bench.
Irons provides sketches of every justice from John Jay to Stephen Breyer and portraits of such legal giants as John Marshall, Roger Taney, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Hugo Black, Earl Warren, and Thurgood Marshall. But the people who stand in the foreground of this vivid historical mural are ordinary Americans like Dred Scott, Homer Plessy, and Michael Hardwick. The cases they brought to the Supreme Court forced the justices to confront the Constitution's promise that every American deserves "the blessings of liberty." And in this fascinating work, Irons recounts the landmark decisions in which the Court both honored and broke that promise, in cases that span more than two centuries., The savvy, chatty author of The Courage of Their Convictions brings us a scholarly reckoning of the 200-plus years of decisions made by the highest court in the land. Not surprisingly (and justifiably, given his erudite arguments), Peter H. Irons represents the court's work as a never-ending appeal of the powerless to the powerful: of the just over 100 supreme justices who have sat on the court, all but two have been white, all but two have been men, and all but seven have been Christian, whereas the supplicants to our nation's highest bar are typically racial minorities, women, and deviants in some way from the religious and social mainstream.
Taking a representative (if not comprehensive) accounting of the Supreme Court's most significant decisions, Irons puts cultural and political context--and a human face--to the parties involved, painting an absorbing and involving picture of landmark cases that readers are likely to recall but not fully understand. Whether he's explicating the tortuous history of freedom-seeking slave Dred Scott or explaining the "a Jap's a Jap" reasoning behind the legal exculpation of World War II internment camps, Irons reminds us of the court's spotted history while still conveying the deep affection he has for it. (Includes a thoughtful appendix with the complete text of the Constitution and suggestions for further reading.) --Paul Hughes
