The OED supports Stelzer’s reading of Jesus’s words “lo there” as a plausible source for Lear’s “look there”; in early modern English, lo could be synonymous with look. In “The Tempest and Black Natural Law,” Julia Reinhard Lupton sees Shakespeare’s Caliban as a participant in the natural law tradition stretching from Aristotle to Aquinas to Hooker, but with a difference: Caliban’s bitter complaints make sense especially as expressions justified by “the epistemic privilege of the oppressed,” a central idea in Vincent Lloyd’s seminal 2016 book Black Natural Law. Lupton’s essay provides a fitting end to a highly evocative collection.
