Amidst a background of bacchanalia, blurred identities, and troubled romances, the interconnected plots of four young Athenian lovers and six amateur actors become further complicated when they are manipulated by mischievous fairies in the surrounding forest. Readers of this edition will find an introduction, note on the text, and textual variants. "Sources" includes an amalgamation of classical material from Ovid, Chaucer, and Plutarch that are all purported inspirations for the play. "Criticism" includes reviews from luminaries of the 17th and 18th centuries as well as more modern criticism. In addition to their analyses of notable stagings and performances, these critical essays explore the themes of race, empire, and gender relations in the play. "Adaptations" highlights two important 17th century adaptations that have helped to immortalize Shakespeare's works in the public imagination. A Selected Bibliography is also included."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 00 $a Theseus, $c King of Athens $v Drama. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $t Midsummer night's dream. 600 07 $a Theseus, $c King of Athens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149949 630 07 $a Midsummer night's dream (Shakespeare, William) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356315 650 0 $a Hippolyta (Greek mythology) $v Drama. 650 0 $a Courtship $v Drama. 650 0 $a Fairy plays. 651 0 $a Athens (Greece) $v Drama. 650 7 $a Courtship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881873 650 7 $a Fairy plays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00919906 650 7 $a Hippolyta (Greek mythology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957267 651 7 $a Greece $z Athens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204474 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 700 1 $a Ioppolo, Grace, $d 1956- $e editor. 830 0 $a Norton critical edition. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019013437.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B6053BEC840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
