Summary: | "This edition of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream allows a variety of approaches to Shakespeare, including historical, feminist, and cultural studies. Shakespeare's text is accompanied by an intriguing collection of thematically arranged historical and cultural documents and illustrations, including excerpts from such sources as letters, conduct books, legal documents, and literary works that illuminate the themes of the play. The editors' intelligent and engaging introductions to the play and to the documents (which are presented in modern spelling with annotations) offer a richly textured understanding of early modern culture and of Shakespeare's work within that culture."--BOOK JACKET. |
