What is the best translation of The Tempest?

Question

Accepted Answer

For most readers, the Folger Shakespeare Library translation (1994) of The Tempest is the best place to start: For almost everyone, the Folger is the right Tempest — facing-page glosses keep the magic, the masque, and Prospero's knotty speeches clear, with scene-by-scene synopses. Cheap, and the classroom standard. This is where I'd start. For most scholarly, consider Arden (3rd series) (1999). For best one-volume scholarly, consider Oxford Shakespeare (1987). For for beginners, consider No Fear Shakespeare (2003). For free, consider Free (public domain) (1623).
