Recently redefined by modern criticism as a romance, the play has been read as an escapist fantasy, a political allegory, and a celebratory fiction. Most often, however, \u003cem\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/em\u003e is interpreted as a summary of Shakespeare's view of his own art of playwriting. 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 edited, and includes a stage history of its production, from the radical revisions of Davenant, Dryden, and Shadwell to the recent stagings of Peter Hall, Jonathan Miller, and Peter Brook.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Tempest | William Shakespeare | Paperback | 9780192834140 | Used: Like New | Drama 1647345 (temp: 22)","offer_id":48927936741528,"sku":"1647345","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/612qzFvbBKL.jpg?v=1777059743","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/tempest-3","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
