Corneille’s Cinna (1641) explores absolute power in ancient Rome. Molière’s comedy The Misanthrope (1666) sees its antihero reject society for its hypocrisy. Racine’s Andromache (1667) recounts the tragedy of Hector’s widow after the Trojan War, and his Phaedra (1677) shows a mother crossing the boundaries of love with her stepson. This edition features new verse translations undertaken with performance in mind, and a wealth of supplementary materials for students and actors. n John Edmunds’s translation of Phaedra was praised by luminaries such as Harold Pinter, and is being published here for the first time PieRRe CoRneille (1606–1684), often hailed as the father of French tragedy, made his name with the tragicomedy Le Cid in 1637. His best-known works include Horace and Cinna. MolièRe is the pen name of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (1622–1673), one of the greatest French comedians. His numerous plays include Tartuffe, Le Misanthrope, and L’Avare. Jean RaCine (1639–1699) became known as one of the seventeenth century’s leading playwrights with the neoclassical tragedies Andromaque, Britannicus, and Phèdre. John eDMunDs is the founder-director of the department of theater, film, and television studies at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. JosePh haRRis is a senior lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London.

When the sensitive priest discovers the moral decadence, cruelty, and corruption at his new home, his well-meaning but ineffectual attempts to prevent the fall of the House of Ulloa end in tragedy. Combining gothic elements with humor and social satire, The House of Ulloa is the finest achievement of Emilia Pardo Bazán, one of the most dynamic figures of her time. n The only English-language edition of Emilia Pardo Bazán’s works available in the U.S. eMilia PaRDo BaZán (1851–1921) was a prolific writer, a feminist, a traveler, and an intellectual who held a chair in literature at Madrid University from 1916 until her death. Paul o’PRey is the vice-chancellor of the University of Roehampton, London. luCia gRaves is a literary translator and an author. Her translations include works by Robert Graves, Anaïs Nin, and Katherine Mansfield, as well as Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s novel The Shadow of the Wind. PENGUIN CLASSIC DeCeMBeR 137
