Decades after his death, renowned Shakespearean scholar Dr. Marshall Emerson returns from the grave to seek vengeance on those who dared disturb his fitful sleep. Emerson, whose specialty was the bard’s The Tempest and was nicknamed "Professor Prospero" could never be spotted walking the grounds of McMaster University without the precious 1861 folio edition of Shakespeare’s works clutched in his hands. When McMaster University library and bookstore staff begin producing replica versions of his original text on a newly acquired Espresso Book Machine, Emerson's ghost returns, intent to put a stop to this “desecration” of his beloved text.

Im letzten Jahrzehnt hat sich, was die Wertschätzung und Definition von Wissenschaftsfreiheit betrifft, eine wachsende Kluft an Hochschulen aufgetan. Auf der einen Seite stehen diejenigen, für die Wissenschaftsfreiheit ein grundsätzlich schützenswertes individuelles Grundrecht ist. Ihnen gegenüber stehen diejenigen, die den Schutz von Forschung und Lehre unter einen weltanschaulichen Vorbehalt stellen. Insbesondere identitätspolitisch motivierte Hochschulangehörige greifen zu den Mitteln der moralischen Diskreditierung, sozialen Ausgrenzung und institutionellen Bestrafung, um ihre Weltsicht durchzusetzen. Dieser Band analysiert die Erscheinungsformen und Folgen dieser politisierten und moralisierten Wissenschaftsausrichtung.
