Description
The Tempest is Shakespeare's comedy, presented here in an illustrated edition. Hodder and Stoughton published it in New York and London. The text follows the Oxford Edition by permission. Edmund Dulac supplied the illustrations.
The plates follow the action in order. Prospero tells Miranda he acted only in care of her. Caliban offers water with berries. Antonio plots beside the sleeping king. Stephano makes Trinculo kiss the book, his bottle. Ariel, as harpy, denounces three men of sin. The masque brings Iris, Ceres, and Juno in act four. Prospero's speech on the stuff our dreams are made on is pictured. The dramatis personae list Alonso, Sebastian, Antonio, and Ferdinand. Caliban, Trinculo, Stephano, Miranda, and Ariel complete the island company. The scene is a ship at sea, then the island.
