Description:How would a Jacobean audience have assessed The Tempest ? What would King James I have thought of it?

Learn about the social hierarchy, gender relationships, parenting and family dynamics, court corruption, class tensions, the concept of tragi-comedy and all the subversions, transgressions, and oppositions that made the play an unsettling picture of a world attempting to come to terms with capitalism and colonialism while re-addressing the nature of rule."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
