Subject:        Prospero, the Colonial
 
Joan Hartwig,
 
I'm not going to help you much, because I think there's a whole literature on
Prospero as a colonist. I seem to remember murmuring something about that
twenty years ago, and nowdays it's a flourishing industry. I admit that I don't
know who said that Prospero was the FIRST colonist.
 
Cheers,
Bill Godshalk

        Sinfield and Jonathan Dollimore.
 
Cartelli, Thomas.  "Prospero in Africa: *The Tempest* as Colonialist Text and
        Pretext."  In *Shakespeare Reproduced*.  Eds. Howard and O'Connor.
 
                                and

        1991 as an alternative reading.
