«The Tempest» is the play by William Shakespeare published by Oxford University Press in 1998 in paperback (258 pages, in English).
«The Tempest», dated around 1610-1611, is considered the last play William Shakespeare wrote alone. In the 1623 First Folio it was listed as a comedy, but many modern editors reclassify it as a romance; its central themes are power, revenge, and redemption.
Published in 1998, this edition belongs to the Oxford World's Classics collection and the Oxford Shakespeare series, edited by Stephen Orgel.
For students of English literature, lovers of classical theatre, and readers who want to read Shakespeare in English.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
