Review of
The
Tempest: The Graphic Novel, by William Shakespeare
ISBN 9781906332693
Five out of five stars
One of my
chemistry professors told me that a person could not be considered educated
unless they knew something about the plays of Shakespeare. I agree with that
position and support that education by any tactic that can be used. This
graphic novel provides another avenue where educators can introduce what was
Shakespeare’s final play by solo authorship and one of his best. It is also considered
to be his only work that was completely original
The images are
all in vivid color with great detail and the text appears in standard dialog
balloons. Readers are given an effective context for the dialog, which is of
course pure Shakespearean. I would encourage English teachers to consider using
copies of this book as texts for their classes on Shakespeare. For it is far
superior to the stale pamphlets that is the normal fare.
