The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its
up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series
features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays
and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of
new critical, stage and screen interpretations. For this second
edition of The Tempest, David Lindley has thoroughly revised the
Introduction to take account of the latest developments in
criticism and performance. He has also added a completely new
section on casting in recent productions of the play. The complex
questions this new section raises about colonisation, racial and
gender stereotypes and the nature of theatrical experience are
explored throughout the introduction. Careful attention is paid to
dramatic form, stagecraft, and the use of music and spectacle in
The Tempest, a play that is widely regarded as one of Shakespeare's
most elusive and suggestive. A revised and updated reading list
completes the edition.
