The Tempest (1908)

 

Illustrated by Edmund Dulac

 

 

 

Shakespeare's The Tempest weaves a tale around themes as diverse as betrayal, sorcery and

witchcraft, spiritual forces revenge and forgiveness - themes which revolve around the central

character, Prospero. Prospero is the sorceror who, prior to being stranded on an island after

being betrayed by his brother, had been the rightful Duke of Milan. After twelve years

stranded with his daughter, Miranda, a spirit companion, Ariel and a deformed monster,

Caliban, Prospero has the opportunity to wreck a passing boat carrying his brother by

conjuring a tempest to drive the vessel to annihilation - and thereafter begins Prospero's

journey towards reconciliation with his brother and the return to Italy through his magical

powers of all those who came hence.

Cover for ''The Tempest'' (1908), illustrated by Edmund Dulac

On the left, we show a rare copy of Shakespeare's The Tempest

produced by Hodder & Stoughton (London) in 1908 and carrying

the illustrations of Edmund Dulac.

 

This example retains the original decoratively gilt-stamped blue

cloth cover.

 

 

 

 

 

Dulac's sumptuous suite of illustrations for The Tempest are a superb companion to Shakespeare's magical words.
