Description and Table of Contents

Description

"The Tempest" is widely seen as Shakespeare's crowning work in the canon of English literature, but the universal power of the play and its invocation of peoples, places, images and phrases from both the Old World and the New has seen it appropriated and transformed by writers and performers from far outside that tradition. It is set on an uncharted island, and this book offers a new map of the island, consisting of an innovative collection of historical, critical and creative readings, juxtaposing texts and images from different periods and a variety of geographical and disciplinary spheres.
