The Tempest, die Geschichte von dem entmachteten und vertriebenen Herzog von Mailand, der im Exil auf einer Insel im Meer eine neue Herrschaft errichtet und durch Magie alle seine Feinde in seine Gewalt bringt, ist eines der faszinierendsten und vieldeutigsten Dramen Shakespeares. Es ist wechselweise als romantisches Märchen- und Zauberstück, als persönliche Abschiedsbotschaft des Dichters in seinem letzten großen Werk, als Parabel von Großmut und Vergebung und als Lehrstück über das Unrecht der Kolonialherrschaft gedeutet und inszeniert worden. Es reizt immer noch zu neuen Interpretationen und Aufführungsweisen.
George Brandes Bücher
Georg Brandes war ein dänischer Literaturkritiker und Theoretiker, der die skandinavische und europäische Literatur maßgeblich beeinflusste. In den 1870er Jahren formulierte er die Prinzipien des Realismus und Naturalismus und lehnte ahistorisches Schreiben ab. Laut Brandes sollte die Literatur ein Organ für die großen Gedanken der Freiheit und den Fortschritt der Menschheit sein. Seine Vision leitete die Bewegung des „Modernen Durchbruchs“ ein.
