Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream by Nicolas Tredell

Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream by Nicolas Tredell

A stimulating and comprehensive critical survey of the responses to A Midsummer Night's Dream, as well as the key debates and developments, from the seventeenth century to the present day. Leading the reader through material chronologically, the Guide explores the main themes and interpretations and draws on a rich range of critical writings.

'This is a helpful book: it identifies key critical accounts; it organises them effectively within a larger narrative that is not at all intrusive; it summarises them clearly and illustrates its summaries with well-chosen quotationIts guidance is always helpful and balanced and the book provides overall a very good grounding in criticism of the play.' - Nick Potter, Swansea Metropolitan University, UK 'Tredell works through chronologically, summarising concisely and quoting effectively, giving a comprehensive account of the full range of criticism.' - John Haddon, The Use of English
