The Tempest

"Presenting an utterly reliable text, together with a rich collection of social, historical, and performance-based materials, this edition illuminates our understanding of the play as it has been interpreted traditionally, while simultaneously pointing the way to innovative, revisionist readings for the future." --S. P. Cerasano, Colgate University "The Norton Critical Tempest is a truly wonderful resource: it illuminates Shakespeare's most open-ended play with a wealth of richly suggestive contextual materials--on magic, on human perfectibility, on travel and alien worlds, on colonial domination, on religion and politics. Providing a well-selected sampling of interpretive criticism and artistic rewritings, the edition will inspire students to become researchers and re-creators themselves as they bring these texts into conversation with Shakespeare's magical and enigmatic creation." --Lynne Magnusson, University of Toronto
