Title: O Brave New World That has Such People In it.
Review: The Tempest is thought to be Shakespeare's final play. As such there is much in it that calls to mind earlier works. To me the Tempest is reminiscent of A MidSummers Night Dream. The themes of separation, betrayal and forgiveness and restoration are prominent. It is relatively short but contains summation of themes that are found throughout Shakespeare's works.I have always enjoyed the Folger Library edition of the plays. The use of explanatory notes on the facing pages is incredibly helpful and allows the narrative to be followed with out the need to page back and forth when a phrase requires a quick refresher. If you are looking to find a well edited and accessible paperback version of the Tempest I highly recommend this one.
