Caliban Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Caliban: A Philosophical Drama Continuing "the Tempest" Of William Shakespeare Ernest Rénan, the most brilliant member of the French Institute, in his most inimitable style and with profound philosophical insight, has in the following drama imagined otherwise for the chief actors of The Tempest. He follows the restored Prospero to Milan, and with him takes the most delicate spirit Ariel, and the slave Caliban, with Gonzalo and Trinculo. With these he creates a new drama in a new situation. Prospero is placed on the throne of Milan, and Caliban, with nothing to do, lies wallowing in drunken stupor, cursing as of yore. He is the same Caliban, and as in Browning's vivid picture, we see him still sprawling, still blaspheming, still worshipping his mother Sy corax's horrible god, Setebos.
