Subject:        Caliban

Kathleen Breen is interested in hearing "other current ideas on
Caliban."  I'm sure she will receive many helpful suggestions from the
list, but I thought I'd mention a title that my son gave me as a gift a
few years ago.  The book is a tiny novel by Tad Williams entitled
Caliban's Hour (New York: Harper Collins, 1994).  Let me warn you that
this invention imagines Caliban arriving in Naples, intent on making off
with Miranda.  During the course of the evening he tells his version of
the island experience.  The dust jacket promises "the long-hidden truth
[about] how his beloved island became an imprisoning Hell."  This
fiction is readable and might prompt some interesting discussion.

To Kathleen Breen:

Caliban is all of the above.  You might want to read the book
"Shakespeare's Caliban: A Cultural History" by Alden & Virginia
Vaughan.  It is a wonderful analysis of the range of presentations and
responses Caliban has prompted throughout the years.

Cheers!

Much recent work on Caliban as a fully sentient victim of colonialist
oppression, op cit interpretation by NY Public Theater's George Wolfe a
couple of years ago.

I find this read underwhelming.

As an answer to Kathleen Breen's query: fall 1997 a collection of new
essays
on Caliban will be published by Rodopi, _ Constellation Caliban_, edited
by
Nadia Lie and Theo D'haen. That might be of interest.

Yours
