MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, A - THE OXFORD SHAKESPEARE

'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is perhaps Shakespeare's most popular play, particularly as a first introduction to Shakespeare for children--filled as it is with a marvelous mixture of aristocrats, workers, and fairies. For this edition, Peter Holland's introduction looks at dreams and dreamers, tracing the materials out of which Shakespeare constructs his world of night and shadows.
