Description: Biography of French playwright Jean Racine, plus links to all of his works currently in print.
Born on December 20, 1639, Jean Racine was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, who took the boy with her to the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris after she was widowed. Racine's teachers at the convent were members of a reform movement known as Jansenism. Although they were suspected by the French monarchy of being theologically and politically subversive, these monks provided the young Racine with a good education, allowing him the opportunity to study Latin and Greek classics under their tutelage, a privilege most young writers could only dream of.
