Doctor Prospero - The Rough Magic of John Dee

T0199043299
What inspired Shakespeare to create his last major character, Prospero, in The Tempest? This play parallels the extraordinary life of Dr John Dee, Elizabethan magus, with Shakespeare's enchanter, his magic island and its fascinating inhabitants. Alchemy, astronomy, and conversations with angels combined with the richness of Shakespeare's genius promises a rare and entertaining conjunction.
