Phedre :  Racine's Phèdre 
/ Robert Lowell 
 - London  : Faber & Faber  , c1961 
 - 90 p.  ; 23 cm. 
<br/><br/> Everything about Phèdre was masterly: the tragic construction, the deeply observed characters, the richness of the verse. Voltaire called it "the masterpiece of the human mind." Contrary to Euripides, Racine has Phèdre dying on stage at the end of the play; she thus has had time to learn of the death of Hippolyte. The character of Phèdre is one of the most remarkable in Racine's tragic oeuvre.
