Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language
and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of
Siegen, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English,
abstract: In the course of the last four centuries many authors
have made good use of Shakespeare s wealth of ideas and his unique
style of elaborate and figurative writing, be it in the form of
adopting Shakespearean thoughts in order to create new literary
works or by adapting one or several of Shakespeare's plays and thus
making the him accessible to a particular contemporary audience.
The latter applies to John Dryden who tried to reinvent The Tempest
for the Restoration public at large. This term paper is intended to
examine in how far Dryden managed to contribute his own ideas to
this adaptation without neglecting the basic framework of
Shakespeare s Tempest. First, Kraus concentrates on the Restoration
period itself and the repercussions on drama and theatrical
performances that the re-establishment of the monarchy involved. On
second thoughts, he draws attention to Dryden s adaptation of the
Tempest, in particular by means of analyzing and elucidating to
what extent it differs from the original with regard to plot,
staging possibilities and language.
