Sueño de una noche de verano
by William ShakespeareAl bosque mágico de Atenas, en el que reinan Titania y Oberon (enfrentados en agria disputa), y donde unos artesanos ensayan una obra para celebrar la boda de Teseo e Hipolita, llega un par de amantes en fuga, Lisandro y Hermia. Demetrio, el desairado prometido de Hermia, acude allí por Helena, a su vez enamorada de él. Entra en acción Puck, un malicioso duende acolito de Oberon, provisto de un filtro de amor que supuestamente zanjará todo conflicto entre los amantes, no sin antes desatar numerosas confusiones de amor y equívocos. Con la estructura onírica de una extravagante mascarada, Sueño de una noche de verano es una pieza de rigor formal y sofisticación, en la que el mundo de los amantes nobles y los artesanos -basado en la realidad histórica inglesa de la época- coexiste con el mundo fantástico de las hadas, arraigado al folclore y la mitología céltica.

The Tempest
by William ShakespeareThis bewitching play, Shakespeare's final work, articulates a wealth of the playwright's mature reflections on life and contains some of his most familiar and oft-quoted lines. The story concerns Miranda, a lovely young maiden, and Prospero, her philosophical old magician father, who dwell on an enchanted island, alone except for their servants — Ariel, an invisible sprite, and Caliban, a monstrous witch's son. Into their idyllic but isolated lives comes a shipwrecked party that includes the enemies who usurped Prospero's dukedom years before, and set him and his daughter adrift on the ocean. Also among the castaways is a handsome prince, the first young man Miranda has ever seen. Comedy, romance, and reconciliation ensue, in a masterly drama that begins with a storm at sea and concludes in joyous harmony.

The Tempest (Wordsworth Classics) (PDF)
by William Shakespeare and Cedric WattsEdited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare's Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Tempest is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of Shakespeare's late comedies. Prospero, long exiled from Italy with his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests himself of that magic, his ‘art’, and prepares to return to the mainland. The Tempest has often been regarded as Shakespeare's ‘farewell to the stage’ before his retirement. In the past, critics emphasised the romantically beautiful features of The Tempest, seeing it as an imaginative fantasia. In recent decades, however, The Tempest has also been treated as a potently political drama which offers controversial insights into colonialism and racism. Frequently staged and diversely filmed, the play has influenced numerous poets and novelists.
