Geoffrey Brereton

Jean Racine (eBook, ePUB)

A Critical Biography

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this critical study of the man and his work, first published in 1951 and revised in 1973, Dr Brereton's guiding principle has been to make the factual basis as accurate as it can be in the light of modern research. The result is the portrait of a sensitive and attractive figure which is none the worse for being shorn of certain legends.
