I spent some time in the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vault this afternoon. Among the treasures: a first folio, a ring given to the widow of a man lost at sea, and handwritten inventory from the 17th century that documents the earliest known appearance of Shakespeare in North America

The English are notorious for getting their theology from Milton & their history from Shakespeare, rather than from more orthodox sources. The endurance of the image of a Richard who is 'determined to prove a villain' is testimony to the power of drama (1/2)

I find The Tempest wiki enlightening, broad, and blessedly devoid of academic blather. No one source inspired Tempest. May be Shakesp's last play. One of the most produced plays. John Gielgud considered greatest Prospero of 20th Century. etc. . . #thetempest_2025 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tem...

How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't.
Act V s1 #TheTempest_2025 Like the Savage in Huxley's #BraveNewWorld , Miranda does not yet know the "civilization" that awaits her. Perhaps she'd stay on the island.

Why we need the structure of comedy: because The Tempest's tempest is but a dream, a spell. A conceit, a longing. In real life a tempest has no happy ending, only a changed one. #thetempest_2025

Option A it is (Richard III, John, Henry VIII).
Also, it makes sense to read King John who stood up to papal tyranny before Henry VIII flexed his muscles.
