      The Tempest

      Believed to have been written between 1610 and 1611, this well-known play is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place. He conjures a storm to lure to the island his usurping brother Antonio and Alonso, King of Naples. During their time on this magical island, Prospero’s machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio’s low nature, the redemption of Alonso and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso’s son, Ferdinand.

      There is no obvious single source for The Tempest, but critics have seen parallels in Erasmus’s Naufragium, Peter Martyr’s De orbo novo, and an eyewitness report by William Strachey of the real-life shipwreck of the Sea Venture on the islands of Bermuda.

      ‘Miranda’ by John William Waterhouse, 1910

      ‘Prospero, Ariel and sleeping Miranda’ by William Hamilton, 1797
