 The Tempest:  examines five female-authored novelizations of  , showing how they engage the play in a spirit of transgressive dialogism. A major through-line linking each chapter is the articulation of an updated self, one that encompasses the biological and the psychological. Philosopher Thomas Metzinger’s lucid theorization of selfhood seeds this study’s approach. A dedicated materialist, Metzinger nonetheless addresses the interiorizing that defines humanness. This book extends Metzinger’s theories by arguing for ecophenomenology, which harmonizes awareness of humans’ embedment in the world with the storytelling and reflective consciousness that define our species. Re-reading   in tandem with the five novels demonstrates the benefits of an ecophenomenological approach to selfhood.
