‘Quel funeste poison? Racine, Nicole and theatrical crisis’

OAI: oai:www.repository.cam.ac.uk:1810/252399

Abstract

The querelle du théâtre during the seventeenth century is a subject that has received sustained critical attention. My starting point will be one small corner of the ongoing debate, namely the response by Jean Racine to Pierre Nicole’s condemnation of the theatre and the subsequent reaction of two supporters of Port-Royal.
