Details:
The Wordsworth Classics’ Shakespeare Series, with Romeo & Juliet, Henry V & The Merchant of Venice as its inaugural volumes, presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare’s works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Its lyricism, comedy (both broad & subtle) & magical transformations have long made A Midsummer Night’s Dream one of the most popular of Shakespeare’s works. The supernatural & the mundane, the illusory & the substantial, are all shimmeringly blended. Love is treated as tragic, poignant, absurd & farcical. ‘ Lord, what fools these mortals be!’, jeers Robin Goodfellow; but the joke may be on him & on his master Oberon when Bottom the weaver, his head transformed into that of an ass, is embraced by the voluptuously amorous Titania.
Recent stage-productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream have emphasised the enchanting, spectacular, ambiguous & erotically joyous aspects of this magical drama which culminates in a multiple celebration of marriage.
Ideal for:
A Midsummer Nights Dream is recently seen as a darker & more sinister play & is suitable for generations of schoolchildren.
This paperback book measures: 19.8 x 12.9 x 0.6cm.
