Shakespeare's Caliban : a cultural history
Alden T. Vaughan (Author), Virginia Mason Vaughan (Author)
"Shakespeare's Caliban examines The Tempest's "savage and deformed slave" as a fascinating but ambiguous literary creation with a remarkably diverse history in criticism and on stage, in art, poetry, and film, and, during the twentieth century, in sociopolitical writings, especially by Caribbean and African authors.
