Shakespeare William. A Midsummer Night's Dream

EMC, 1998. — 120 p. — (The EMC Masterpiece Series Access Editions).“The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact.”
In A Midsummer Night's Dream, one of his finest and most imaginative comedies, Shakespeare explores the madness of love. The story is set in a wood outside Athens, where two young couples in romantic confusion encounter a band of mischievous fairies who can alter human affections (and shapes!) with potions and magic. The chaos, misunderstandings, and arguments that stem from this chance encounter reveal love's comic side. This complete study edition of Williams Shakespeare's classic comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream includes background on Shakespeare's life and Renaissance theatre, questions, writing ideas, and projects — everything you need to join in the “midsummer madness.”
