Abstract:
In this study I have undertaken an investigation to ascertain the probable composition date of The Tempest and to review the problems of the text. My research opened many avenues of debate and thought; however, there was none as intriguing and involved as Peter Cunning.."lam's "honest forgeries. It Detailing and analyzing the elements of orthography and punctuation as a textual study provided a surprise, for I found the compositors of the text exerted a far greater control over the published text than the author.
