‎JARRY ALFRED‎

‎The Ubu Plays‎

‎Grove Weidenfeld New York: 1969. Softcover. Good condition. Contains the three cardinal Ubu texts: Ubu Rex Ubu Cuckolded and Ubu Enchained. When the first play was staged in Paris in 1896 this strange parody of Macbeth set in an imaginary Poland let loose upon the world Jarry's grotesque figure of Ubu a personification of all that is base and stupid in mankind. Ubu Cuckolded is written in the same savage vein and Ubu Enchained is an outrageous satire on the idea of freedom. These plays are a part of the history of the modern theater. Translated into English from the French by Cyril Connolly and Simon Watson Taylor. ISBN: 0802150101. Grove Weidenfeld, New York: 1969 paperback‎

‎Jean Racine translated by George Dillon‎

‎Three Plays of Racine - Phaedra Britannicus Andromache‎

‎Three Plays of Racine - Phaedra Britannicus Andromache by Jean Racine translated by George Dillon Published by The University of Chicago Press Chicago 1961 ISBN#: 0226150771 Soft bound Excellent condition light cover wear price label remnant on front cover light spine crease.<p> 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.<p>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 Molière 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 Moliere’s production with which Racine was enamored was the leading actress Thérèse du Parc. After seducing the young actress Racine convinced her to leave Moliere's troupe and join him at the Hôtel de Bourgogne. Molière 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.<p>Racine went on to compose a string of successful tragedies all of which would be presented by the Hôtel 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 Phèdre 1677 based on Euripides' Hippolytus is a remarkable exploration of a woman's passion for her husband's son. Racine's other plays include Bérénice 1670 Bajazet 1672 and Mithridate 1673.<p>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 pièce 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 Phèdre 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.<p>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.<p>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. <p align="left"><font size="4">The book is approximately 5 ¼ X 8 inches in size and contains 184 pages.
