Opis

Excerpt from Shakespeare's the Tempest: With Introduction, and Notes Explanatory and Critical, for Use in Schools and Classes Of the thirty-seven plays that have come down to us from the pen of Shakespeare very few can be precisely dated as to the time of their composition. Although this inexactness applies in the case of The Tempest, there are reasons for thinking that Shakespeare wrote this play very near the end of his career. We know that the more he wrote the better he wrote. If we were to compare The Tempest with one of his early plays, as, for example, the comedy of Love's Labour's Lost, we should at once be aware of a very wide difference between them. The earlier play, though bearing the distinguishing quality which we call Shakespearean, is yet one which might very well have come from the hand of a man who was only beginning to learn the difficult art of play-writing - on it are many marks of the hand of an apprentice workman. In The Tempest, on the other hand, all such shortcomings of inexperience and immaturity have vanished. It could have been composed only by a man who had gained complete mastery over the art of poetic and dramatic craftsmanship. Moreover, the similarity of The Tempest in spirit and manner to Cymbeline and The Winter's Tale, plays which Shakespeare wrote near the close of his long dramatic career, places it in the same period. In all likelihood it was the last play he wrote before he went back to the beautiful countryside of Stratford, the home of his boyhood, where he lived five or six years more, a happy and prosperous gentleman. Besides this, there is other evidence which not only strengthens the feeling that The Tempest was of late composition but which also helps us to give a reasonably exact date to the play.
