Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-27 00:00:00 Nate Biazy Good collection of diverse essays, with the common element of the Roman Mistress. Focusses on Augustan elegy and representations of Cleopatra and Messalina, both in the ancient era and in the films of the twentieth century.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-06-12 00:00:00 Doug Schooley Simple yet profound, The Tempest is a heartbreakingly sincere piece of elaborate theatrical artifice. Shakespeare is a magician at the height of his powers, so accomplished at his craft that he can reveal the mechanisms of his most marvelous tricks and still astonish us. This time through, I was struck by how closely references to language, freedom, power and transformation are bound up together, and how they all seem to point to some metaphysical resolution, even if they don't finally achieve it. But perhaps--by the power of Prospero's staff-- they do?
