| Jean Racine |
| |
| 1639–99, French dramatist. Racine is the prime exemplar of French classicism. The nobility of his Alexandrine verse, the simplicity of his diction, the psychological realism of his characters, and the skill of his dramatic construction contribute to the continued popularity of his plays.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
