Imperialism, colonialism, utopianism. There are certainly a lot of "isms" reflected in The Tempest, just as there are a lot of stormy relationships. Instructors new to using the play in their classroom and those more seasoned will find much to like in a guide that keeps scholars afloat in their study of Shakespeare's last tale.
