Jean Racine, John Cairncross eBook December 2, Strongly influenced by Classical drama, Jean Racine () broke away from the grandiose theatricality of baroque drama to create works of intense psychological realism, with characters manipulated by cruel and vengeful gods. Phaedra, Racine's masterpiece, was his last for the professional theatre. Unfortunately, Cardinal Mazarin's niece Nicolas Pradon had written a play of the same nime, and it was praised by critics. The chief source for Andromaque was a passage from the third book of the Aeneid, but Racine made many changes. Andromache is the widow of Hector.
