THE TEMPEST - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE TASCHENBUCH

The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare  believed to have been written in 1610-11  and
probably the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island  where
Prospero  the rightful Duke of Milan  plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful
place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm  the eponymous tempest 
to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island.
There  his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature  the redemption of
the King  and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son  Ferdinand. Life of William Shakespeare
is a biography of William Shakespeare by the eminent critic Sidney Lee. This book was one of
the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published in 1898  based on the article
contributed to the Dictionary of National Biography. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an
English poet and playwright  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. His extant works  including some collaborations  consist of about 38 plays  154 sonnets 
two long narrative poems  and a few other verses  the authorship of some of which is uncertain.
Sir Sidney Lee (1859 - 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a lifelong scholar
and enthusiast of Shakespeare. His article on Shakespeare in the fifty-first volume of the
Dictionary of National Biography formed the basis of his Life of William Shakespeare. This
full-length life is often credited as the first modern biography of the poet.
