A Midsummer Night's Dream

Viac o knihe

The narrative centers around the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta, intertwining the romantic struggles of Hermia, Lysander, and Demetrius, alongside Helena's unrequited love. The play features comedic elements amplified by Oberon and Titania, the fairy king and queen, who use a magical love potion, leading to chaotic romantic entanglements. Unique for its originality, the play does not rely on historical or literary sources. This edition includes a preface and annotations by Henry N. Hudson, along with an introduction by Charles H. Herford.
