The Tempest / The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [9 vols.]

Opening of the book

This text of The Tempest is from Volume I of the nine-volume

1863 Cambridge edition of Shakespeare. The editors’ preface

(e-text 23041) and the other plays from this volume are each available as separate e-texts.

General Notes are in their original location at the end of the play, followed by the text-critical notes originally printed at the bottom of each page. All notes are hyperlinked in both directions. In dialogue, a link from a speaker’s name generally means that the note applies to the entire line or group of lines.

Line numbers—shown in the right margin and used for all notes

—are from the original text. In prose passages the exact line counts will depend on your browser settings, and will probably be different from the displayed numbers. Stage directions were not included in the line numbering.

Texts cited in the Notes are listed at the end of the e-text.

New original cover art included with this eBook is granted to the public domain.
