The Tempest [Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism] (1611)

This critical edition of The Tempest reprints the Bevington text of the play along with 18 critical essays representing major critical and cultural controversies surrounding the work. The play and essays are supported by distinctive editorial material (including an introduction to critical conflict in literary studies, and lengthy headnotes to the play, the controversies and each selection) that helps students grapple not only with the play's critical issues but also with cultural debates about literature itself.
