This edition, published by La Compagnie des Libraires in Paris, presents Racine's complete works in a corrected and expanded format, offering a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of French literature. The volumes feature engraved illustrations and are bound in leather, with decorative gilt-stamped spines that reflect the period's elegance and refinement.

The first volume of this set includes Racine's most famous tragedies, such as Phèdre, Andromaque, and Berenice, each exploring complex psychological and emotional themes. Volume two continues with plays like Iphigénie and Athalie, while volume three completes the collection with other works that contributed to Racine's reputation as the master of French classical theatre. This edition is noted for its meticulous editing and high-quality production, which includes notes and an introduction that further illuminate the context and significance of Racine's work in the French literary canon.

This edition is of particular interest to collectors of rare French literature and those studying the classical French theatrical tradition. With its elegant bindings, engraved frontispieces, and scholarly annotations, Œuvres de J. Racine is an essential acquisition for those interested in the intellectual and cultural history of 17th-century France, and the dramatic legacy of Racine himself.
