To People an Isle: The Tempest and Colonialism. Contemporary critical directions often construe The Tempest in the post-colonial paradigm. The relationship between the slave Caliban and Prospero, his master, monopolizes many analyses of the play. The present author attempts to identify several foibles of this frame of thinking, reconsiders several tenets of New Historicism and Cultural Materialism, and finally offers alternative interpretations.

Keywords: Shakespeare; The Tempest; Post-Colonialism; New Historicism.
