The Island Princess (Arden Early Modern Drama)

The Island Princess (Arden Early Modern Drama)

The Island Princess is a tragicomic romance set in the Spice Islands of Indonesia. Fletcher rewrites Shakespeare's The Tempest through the encounter of Islam and Christianity and the fierce European competition for wealth at the farthest reaches of empire. The play also stages the degeneration of religious tolerance into fanaticism.
This groundbreaking edition explores the play in its gendered, political, social and religious contexts whilst also finding its resonances for a twentyfirst century audience. The critical introduction and onpage commentary notes create an ideal teaching text giving a comprehensive account of the play from both literary and performance perspectives.
