The tempest : an authoritative text, sources and contexts, criticism, rewritings and appropriations

William Shakespeare (Author), Peter Hulme (Editor), William H. Sherman (Editor)
"This Norton Critical Edition includes the First Folio (1623) text of Shakespeare's best-known romance, accompanied by the editors' preface and detailed explanatory annotations. A rich collection of source materials by Ovid, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, King James, Michel de Montaigne, and others, centered on the play's major themes: magic, witchcraft, politics, religion, geography, and travel. Seventeen wide-ranging scholarly essays, seven of them new to the Second Edition. Nineteen rescriptings that speak to The Tempest's enduring power and provocation for writers, from Thomas Heywood and Percy Bysshe Shelley to Aimé Césaire and Ted Hughes."--Back cover
