N & D Deep Duck's Tempest

[alice malice]

Of course The Tempest is the play set in America.


Moreover, unlike the others round it (c 1607-11) Pericles, Cymbeline,
The Winter's Tale, plays that are also driven by supernatural and/or
providential agency, The Tempest is not taken from an existing plot,
from a fiction, but from Letters (William Strachey).
