Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation."

Though written near the end of his career, The Tempest stands first in Shakespeare's First Folio of 1623.

In this edition, Stephen Orgel reassesses the evidence for each of these critical speculations, and finds the play to be both more open and more historically determined than traditional views have allowed. The text has been newly e... View more info
