"Magic and the Early Schoolroom of Humanist Learning in The Tempest" https://www.worldshakesbib.org/entry/bbbc2204/ Author: Kumamoto, Chikako D. Type: Journal Article Year: 2013 Publication Information: Journal of the Wooden O Symposium 13 (2013): 63–80. Annotation: Scrutinizes Shakespeare's use of humanist pedagogical rhetoric and scenes in Tempest, which the author views as demonstrating "Shakespeare's most radical doubt about humanist education as magical art." Questions the roles of teacher and learner throughout the play, focusing on Prospero as the "arch-pedagogue on this island." Draws parallels between the play and the humanist education that Shakespeare would have had.
