Purchase options and add-ons

The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. For this second edition of The Tempest, David Lindley has thoroughly revised the Introduction to take account of the latest developments in criticism and performance. He has also added a completely new section on casting in recent productions of the play. The complex questions this new section raises about colonisation, racial and gender stereotypes and the nature of theatrical experience are explored throughout the introduction. Careful attention is paid to dramatic form, stagecraft, and the use of music and spectacle in The Tempest, a play that is widely regarded as one of Shakespeare's most elusive and suggestive. A revised and updated reading list completes the edition.

Product description

Review

Review of the first edition: 'If you are looking for a model edition - by which I mean one that is concerned to honour the text and to explain the processes involved in editing - this is it. If I were ever again to undertake the editing of a Shakespeare play, I would keep Lindley's edition of The Tempest open beside me.' Peter Thompson

Review of the first edition: 'David Lindley's [The] Tempest is the best edition on the market and the paperback is a snip.' Studies in Theatre and Performance

Review of the first edition: 'Lindley aims both to represent and to explain the range of readings given the play in its theatrical and critical afterlives. His edition meets the high standards of the series in an exemplary manner, offering an especially fine introduction that focuses on the elusiveness of The Tempest, a feature that has made it central to late-twentieth-century criticism.' Barbara Hodgdon, Studies in English Literature

Review of the first edition: 'David Lindley's edition of The Tempest is easily the most outstanding version of this ostensibly straightforward yet hugely teasing play produced over the last thirty years. Its precise and scrupulous commentary notes are careful to the variety of ways the text can be spoken on stage. Its notes on the music and songs are admirably evocative, and its economical account of the huge range of critical views will send thousands of readers out in fruitful chases after the play's own multitudinous interests.' Andrew Gurr, editor, New Variorum 'Tempest'

    (Portugal) Product exactly as described. I haven't read it yet, but this book is full of information - analitical texts, notes, illustrations and introductions. Perfect for anyone who wants to study "The Tempest" in deep and still enjoy the reading of the story. I made the purchase on September 18th and it arrived today, September 26th. It was supposed to arrive on September 24th, but there was a little delay. Other than that, perfect delivery.

    I was forced to buy this outrageously more expensive copy of the tempest for a levels. It’s ok tho cause the pages are really thick so great for annotations and it has a descriptions at the bottom of the page to understand what’s happening more since Shakespeare loved to waffle with weird words and spellings. The introduction is a bit unnecessary tho it’s like half the book no idea how much or why you have so much to say in the introduction but it’s got some funky pictures in it so that’s pretty cool. I do recommend getting it though I don’t have any real negatives about it despite it being more expensive then the first copy I got before I got told it was the “wrong one” which is crazy cause they all are the same thing but no hard feelings
