The Tempest and its Travels

The Tempest is widely seen as Shakespeare's crowning work in the canon of English literature, and this book offers a new map of the island, consisting of an innovative collection of historical, critical and creative readings, juxtaposing texts and images from different periods.

With contributions by Ric Allsopp, Christy Anderson, Crystal Bartolovich, Gordon Brotherston, Jerry Brotton, Raquel Carrió, Merle Collins, Philip Crispin, David Dabydeen, Elizabeth Fowler, John Gillies, Roland Greene, Donna B. Hamilton, Andrew C. Hess, Peter Hulme, Robin Kirkpatrick, Barbara A. Mowat, Lucy Rix, Joseph Roach, Patricia Seed, Martha Nell Smith, Alden T. Vaughan and Marina Warner.

Shakespeare’s The Tempest is a play whose meanings and influence have crossed multiple boundaries in the critical sphere. At once resistant and ever-subject to classification, it has been located in every place and no place and enlisted in support of colonial, anticolonial and apolitical views. In ‘The Tempest’ and its Travels, Peter Hulme and William H. Sherman have commissioned original essays that situate The Tempest in both its original contexts and our own cultural moment.
