Shakespeare Reference in The Rich And The Beautiful


Ruth Harris’ novel contains a reference to The Tempest. Harris writes: “After all, a great beauty was marrying a great heir. It was the stuff dreams, Yale’s dreams, were made of” (p. 60). In Act IV, Prospero says, “We are such stuff/As dreams are made on, and our little life/Is rounded with a sleep.”

The Rich And The Beautiful was published in 1978. The Bantam edition was published in September 1979.
