Abstract

Although in a New York Times Book Review interview Rachel Ingalls has denied that her 1982 novel Mrs. Caliban echoes The Tempest, the parallels between the two works are too compelling to resist (Miller 7).' Ingalls's text, by intimately connecting its monster with its female protagonist, comments on the inequalities that underlie and pervade Shakespeare's text. But Mrs. Caliban is also distinctly a late-twentieth-century creation that continually questions its own premises. Is its monster real? The novel refuses to answer.2
