BiblioFiles: A CenterForLit Podcast about Great Books, Great Ideas, and the Great Conversation
All the World's a Stage: The Tempest
18 Mar 2025
In our last episode, we discussed the concerns about theatre raised by the Reformation. Today we're looking at The Tempest as Shakespeare's answer to the question about the good of performance art. We talk about why Shakespeare has had such a lasting influence, not only on theatre, but on the English language as a whole, and we examine the "metatheater" of The Tempest for clues about what the Bard hoped he was accomplishing with his own work.Learn more about CenterForLit's Online Academy.
