The Tempest - William Shakespeare

n--S. P. Cerasano, Colgate University n nThe Norton Critical Tempest is a truly wonderful resource: it illuminates Shakespeare's most open-ended play with a wealth of richly suggestive contextual materials--on magic, on human perfectibility, on travel and alien worlds, on colonial domination, on religion and politics. Providing a well-selected sampling of interpretive criticism and artistic rewritings, the edition will inspire students to become researchers and re-creators themselves as they bring these texts into conversation with Shakespeare's magical and enigmatic creation. n --Lynne Magnusson, University of Toronto n
