This study on New World-utopian politics in The Tempest traces
paradigm shifts in literary criticism over the past six decades
that have all but re-inscribed the text into a political document.
This book challenges the view that the play has a dominant New
World dimension and demonstrates through close textual readings how
an unstable setting at the same time enables and effaces
discursively over-invested New World interpretations. Almost no
critical attention has been paid to the play's vacuum of power, and
this work interprets pastoral, utopian, and 'American' tensions in
light of the play's forever-ambiguous setting. Through a
'presentist' post-1989 lens, an oft-neglected historical and
political paradigm shift in Shakespeare criticism comes to light.
