Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. 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.
