AB  - Offers posthumanist reading of Tempest, focusing on Prospero as magus who attempts to control his environment. Draws on Jan Kott’s theory of “Grand Mechanism” of history, arguing this anticipates later posthumanist theories. Builds on Kott’s reading of Prospero as version of Leonardo DaVinci, “a master of mechanics and hydraulics,”  well versed in both astronomy  and anatomy. English summary, online.
