By Percy MacKaye

Book Overview

Caliban By The Yellow Sands is a play written by Percy MacKaye and first published in 1916. The play is a retelling of William Shakespeare's The Tempest, with a focus on the character of Caliban, the enslaved native of the island where the play takes place. In MacKaye's version, Caliban is portrayed as a sympathetic figure, struggling against the oppression of his colonizers and seeking his own freedom and autonomy. The play explores themes of imperialism, colonialism, and the struggle for self-determination, as well as the complexities of power and identity. The language of the play is poetic and lyrical, with vivid imagery and metaphors that evoke the natural beauty and harsh realities of the island setting. Overall, Caliban By The Yellow Sands is a thought-provoking and poignant work of drama that offers a fresh perspective on a classic tale.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
