520 $aThis 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.
