Midsummer Night's Dream

The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series with Romeo and Juliet Henry V and 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 and subtle) and magical transformations have long made A Midsummer Night's Dream one of the most popular of Shakespeare's works. The supernatural and the mundane the illusory and the substantial are all shimmeringly blended. Love is treated as tragic poignant absurd and farcical. 'Lord what fools these mortals be!' jeers Robin Goodfellow; but the joke may be on him and 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 and erotically joyous aspects of this magical drama which culminates in a multiple celebration of marriage.
