In her study of Racine's annotations of Euripides' tragedies, Phillippo examines the way in which the creative processes linking the two writers may have worked. She concentrates on the largely unexplored and hitherto mostly unpublished evidence supplied by 'non-verbal' aspects of the annotations: the markings of lines and passages by underlining, brackets, etc. Such markings, though rather more enigmatic than the somewhat limited verbal notes, suggest how Racine probably understood the Greek 'originals', and reveal the qualities of the Greek dramatist to which the French writer appears to have responded most readily.
