We are used to reading the work of Shakespeare with modernised spelling, footnotes and glosses - effectively in translation. This new edition of Shakespeare's last play, The Tempest, offers an authentic reading experience, allowing us to experience the unmediated original. Designed as a beautiful, slim volume, this edition takes us back to Shakespeare's own time and allows us to view his unforgettable words afresh, as he originally wrote them.
