The Tempest-William Shakespeare

The Wordsworth Classics’ Shakespeare’s Series presents a newly-edited

sequence of William Shakespeare’s works. The textual editing takes account

of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.

The Tempest is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of Shakespeare’s

late comedies. Prospero, long exiled from Italy with his daughter

Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his former enemies.

Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests himself of that magic,

his ‘art’, and prepares to return to the mainland. The Tempest has often

been regarded as Shakespeare’s ‘farewell to the stage’ before his

retirement.

In the past, critics emphasised the romantically beautiful features of

The Tempest, seeing it as an imaginative fantasia. In recent decades,

however, The Tempest has also been treated as a potently political

drama which offers controversial insights into colonialism and racism.

Frequently staged and diversely filmed, the play has influenced

numerous poets and novelists.
