About the Book
The Tempest is one of William Shakespeare's most beloved and frequently performed plays, cherished both in academic settings and on the stage. This edition, revised and updated for the Arden 3 series, offers a fresh perspective on this iconic work. Alden and Virginia Vaughan's authoritative introduction has been expanded to include recent scholarship, offering new insights into Shakespeare's sources and the colonial themes explored in the play.
The updated introduction also discusses key productions that have brought The Tempest to life in new ways, particularly Julie Taymor's revolutionary 2010 film adaptation, which featured Helen Mirren as a gender-swapped "Prospera." This revised edition reflects these developments, ensuring its continued relevance for both students and theatre practitioners.
As a resource, this edition of The Tempest provides a comprehensive understanding of the play's themes, historical context, and its ongoing significance in both literature and popular culture. Whether you’re studying the play for the first time or revisiting its depths, this edition offers the tools and perspectives to engage with Shakespeare’s work in a modern, thought-provoking way.
