RACAN

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 774 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RACAN , HONOR$ DE BUEIL, MARqUIS DE (15891670), French poet, was born at the chateau of La Roche-Racan in 1589. He became page at the court of
Henry
  IV. and then entered the army, seeing some active service. Racan was very poor and was practically uneducated, for, if his own account
may be credited, he had not learnt even Latin. But in middle life he inherited some property, and he was thus able to devote himself to the practice of poetry, in which he was the faithful, and perhaps the most distinguished, disciple of
Malherbe
 . He had known
Malherbe
  when he was a page at the court of
Henry
  IV., and had early contributed to the fashionable albums of the day. In 1625 he published his most important
work
 , Bergeries, a dramatic
pastoral
  in five acts, a part of which, entitled Arthenice, was played in 1618. Racan was also the author of Sept psaumes (1631), Odes sacrees tirees des psaumes de
David
  (1651), Dernieres oeuvres et poesies chretiennes (166o), in all of which he was hampered by his inability to read the sacred writings except in other French paraphrases. He was one of the
original
  members of the French
Academy
 . He died in February 1670.
His fEuvres completes were edited by
Tenant
  de Latour in 1857, and the edition includes a biographical notice. See Sainte-Beuve, Causeries du lundi.
