Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fifth volume of a projected translation into English of all twelve of Jean Racine’s plays. Geoffrey Alan Argent’s translations faithfully convey all the urgency and keen psychological insight of Racine’s dramas, and the coiled strength of his verse, while breathing new vigor into the time-honored form of the “heroic” couplet. Complementing this translation are the Discussion and the Notes and Commentary—particularly detailed and extensive for this volume, Britannicus being by far Racine’s most historically informed play. Also noteworthy is Argent’s reinstatement of an eighty-two-line scene, originally intended to open Act III, that has never before appeared in an English translation of this play. Britannicus, one of Racine’s greatest plays, dramatizes the crucial day when Nero—son of Agrippina and stepson of the late emperor Claudius—overcomes his mother, his wife Octavia, his tutors, and his vaunted “three virtuous years” in order to announce his omnipotence. He callously murders his innocent stepbrother, Britannicus, and effectively destroys Britannicus’s beloved, the virtuous Junia, as well. Racine may claim, in his first preface, that this tragedy “does not concern itself at all with affairs of the world at large,” but nothing could be further from the truth. The tragedy represented in Britannicus is precisely that of the Roman Empire, for in Nero Racine has created a character who embodies the most infamous qualities of that empire — its cruelty, its depravity, and its refined barbarity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Britannicus: Tragedie Racine, it will be seen, did not consider it his duty to adhere scrupulously to all the details given by historians, or to follow closely the chronological order. In his two prefaces he has pointed out some of the alterations he had taken the liberty of making, and endeavoured to justify them. Let us then enumerate these alterations, together with one or two, more important in their bearing on the drama, which he did not mention, examine the motives which induced him thus to modify the data of history, and finally see whether he was justified in so modifying them. The death of Britannicus took place in 55, in the calends of January, when Nero had been on the throne for fifteen months only. Racine adds about two years to his life. The life of Narcissus is likewise prolonged, and the circumstances of his death are altogether altered instead of being massacred by the mob in 55, he perished by his own hand in 54. J unia Calvina, having been expelled from Italy after the death of her brother Silanus, could not have been at Rome at the moment of the action. The love of Britannicus for her is an invention of the poet. Racine gives her a purity of character which, ao cording to Tacitus and Seneca, she was far from possessing. Supposing that, on account of her birth, virtue, and misfortune, the Roman people have taken her under their protection and relieved her from the conditions imposed by law, he makes her a Vestal at the death of Britannicus.
