Shakespeare and the Subaltern

Abstract

I was, as usual, much interested by Alan Wald's literary-political analysis and particularly appreciative of the research-in-depth that informed his biographical notes on Guy Endore, in his article "The Subaltern Speaks" (MR, April 1992). However, I must register a small demur at the misleading impression conveyed of a more important writer—the author of The Tempest.
