The play is based on the biblical story of Athaliah, a queen who ruled the kingdom of Judah and was known for her cruelty and idolatry. The play takes place in the temple of Jerusalem, where Athaliah has usurped the throne and is determined to wipe out the royal line of David. However, a young prince named Joash has been hidden away and is the last surviving member of the royal family. With the help of the high priest Jehoiada, Joash is crowned king and Athaliah is defeated. The play explores themes of power, religion, and the consequences of sin. It is written in five acts and is considered one of Racine's most powerful tragedies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
