The Tempest (Barnes And Noble Shakespeare)

The Story

The Tempest, by William Shakespeare, is part of the Barnes & Noble Shakespeare series.  This unique series features newly edited texts prepared by leading scholars from America and Great Britain, in collaboration with one of the world’s foremost Shakespeare authorities, David Scott Kastan of Columbia University. Together they have produced texts as faithful as possible to those that Shakespeare wrote. Each volume in the Barnes & Noble Shakespeare includes: An extraordinary blend of visual spectacle, story, and poetry, The Tempest is Shakespeare’s dramatic meditation on the art of power. The editor, Gordon McMullan, illuminates the play by putting it in the context of early modern writings on colonization and political conflict.
