Shakespeare's Tempest and Capitalism
«
"Helen Scott's new book offers a brilliantly resourceful, sharply- argued account of Shakespeare's provocative romance and of its reception and influence over more than four centuries. She shows with remarkable insight how the play's original historical and political significance relates to its continuing importance for dramatists, poets, and fiction-writers committed to challenging the injustices of neoliberal capitalism."
-- William Keach, Professor Emeritus of English, Brown University
"Helen C. Scott has raised our understanding of The Tempest to a new level by revealing the deepest political and economic forces that shaped Shakespeare's original writing of the play and its reception ever after."
--Marcus Rediker, co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic
