Recenzii
This edition of The Tempest excellently leverages footnotes to provide greater context to the phrases used during this era. For instance, Shakespeare uses the phrase "dead Indian" (II.ii.30), which the footnote to the line clarifies as "a possible allusion to actual exhibitions of Indigenous Americans in London" during the period (p. 99n). Initially, this phrase may seem obscure, even offensive; the note provides valuable context, shedding light on the colonial mindset of the era in which the play was written. These thoughtful footnotes, along with a comprehensive introduction and preface, greatly enhance the accessibility of this edition of the text for modern readers-particularly those who might otherwise be hesitant to read Shakespearean drama.
