Journal Article
William Strachey's \True Reportory\ and Shakespeare: A Closer Look at the Evidence
2008
Overview
About seven-eighths of that 24,000-word text is an autobiographical account of Strachey's experiences from mid-1609 to mid-1610: the Sea Venture's journey toward Virginia; its encounter with \"a dreadfull storme and hideous\"; the seemingly miraculous crash on Bermuda; the eventful months there, including the construction of two pinnaces; the final leg to Jamestown; the Virginia Colony's deplorable condition; and Virginia's history from late May to mid-July 1610-most notably, Lord De la Warre's arrival, barely in time, to prevent the abandonment of the Colony. There's much more to The Tempest's story line, of course, drawn largely from European sources, old and new, but Strachey offered a basic outline for the play's meteorological and insular elements and for many of its human interactions.75 Despite the affinity between Strachey's letter and Shakespeare's play, it must be emphasized that Bermuda, according to most critics, is not the scene of the play.
