This study on New World-utopian politics in The Tempest traces paradigm shifts in literary criticism over the past six decades that have all but reinscribed the text into a political document. This book challenges the view that the play has a dominant New World dimension and demonstrates through close textual readings how an unstable setting at the same time enables and effaces discursively over-invested New World interpretations. Almost no critical attention has been paid to the plays vacuum of power, and this work interprets pastoral, utopian, and American tensions in light of the plays forever-ambiguous setting as well as through a presentist post-1989 lens, an oft-neglected historical and political paradigm shift in Shakespeare criticism.
