Introduction to Saint Helena
Saint Helena is an isolated volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, located approximately 1,200 miles west of the coast of Africa. The island was discovered by the Portuguese in 1502 and was later occupied by the British in 1659, becoming an important British outpost during the 19th century. Saint Helena is known for being the final resting place of the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte, who was exiled on the island from 1815 until his death in 1821. Today, the island is a British Overseas Territory with a population of approximately 4,000 inhabitants. Despite its remote location, Saint Helena has a rich history and culture. The island's isolation has contributed to the development of a distinct culture and language known as "Saints English", which is a mixture of English, Portuguese, and African dialects. In addition to Napoleon's tomb, the island is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the Jacob's Ladder staircase, which has 699 steps, and the 16th century Plantation House, which serves as the residence of the island's governor. Today, Saint Helena's economy is largely dependent on tourism, as visitors come to explore the island's natural beauty and rich history.
Shakespeare's Island
For over four hundred years, the island of Saint Helena was reachable only by sea, but it now has an airport. Situated in the South Atlantic, 1,200 miles from the African coast and 2,000 miles from South America, few people know much about this tiny and remote island, let alone its likely role in The Tempest,one of Shakespeare's most popular plays. Join David J. Jeremiah, a former attorney general of Saint Helena, for an engaging yet academically sound exploration of this tiny island and how events and figures in the hundred years following its discovery in 1502 are reflected in the plot and characters of The Tempest. While many scholars are convinced Bermuda was the inspiration and setting for the famous play,Jeremiah believes that Shakespeare had Saint Helena in mind. The early history of the island provides a Caliban figure, a plan to establish a colony there, and the astonishing idea that an Elizabethan sea captain would be proclaimed its king. Jeremiah makes a compelling case for Saint Helena being Shakespeare's island, the island of The Tempest.
