Description
The Annotated Shakespeare series enables readers to fully understand and enjoy the plays of the world’s greatest dramatist “Each volume . . . proves to be a splendid addition to the series.”—Tita French Baumlin, Southwest Missouri State University From the hilarious mischief of the elf Puck to the rough humor of the self-centered Bottom and his fellow players, from the palace of Theseus in Athens to the magic wood where fairies play, Shakespeare’s lyrical A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a play of enchantment and an insightful portrait of the predicaments of love.
This extensively annotated edition makes Midsummer completely accessible to readers in the twenty-first century and provides a rich resource for students, teachers, and the general reader. Burton Raffel’s on-page annotations offer generous help with vocabulary and usage of Elizabethan English, pronunciation, prosody, and alternative readings of phrases and lines.
In his introduction he explores the complexities of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And in a concluding essay, Harold Bloom examines the play’s extraordinary mélange of characters.
