AB  - Examines the scholarly debate over the reading of “wise” versus “wife” in Ferdinand’s speech from Tempest. Concludes that “wise” (which often refers to individuals skilled in the occult arts) is the appropriate reading because Ferdinand’s wonder and admiration are directed at Prospero’s majestic vision of Greek gods, while his wife Miranda is temporarily absent from his thoughts. English summary, 276.
