The authoritative edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers.

In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare stages the workings of love. Theseus and Hippolyta, about to marry, are figures from mythology. In the woods outside Theseus's Athens, two young men and two young women sort themselves out into couples--but not before they form first one love triangle, and then another.

Also in the woods, the king and queen of fairyland, Oberon and Titania, battle over custody of an orphan boy; Oberon uses magic to make Titania fall in love with a weaver named Bottom, whose head is temporarily transformed into that of a donkey by a hobgoblin or "puck," Robin Goodfellow. Finally, Bottom and his companions ineptly stage the tragedy of "Pyramus and Thisbe."

This edition includes:
-Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play

Sobre o autor(a)

Shakespeare, William

William Shakespeare nasceu em abril de 1564 em Stratford-upon-Avon. Depois de casar-se com Anne Hathaway em 1582 e ter três filhos com ela, William mudou-se para Londres. Em poucos anos, seu nome passou a ser reconhecido no teatro londrino, como ator e como dramaturgo. Foi nesse cenário que ele produziria algumas das mais celebradas peças de todos os tempos, entre elas: Ricardo III (1592), Tito Andrônico (1594), Romeu e Julieta (1595), Sonho de uma Noite de Verão (1595), O Mercador de Veneza (1596), Hamlet (1601), Macbeth (1603), Otelo (1604), Rei Lear (1605) e A Tempestade (1611). Com o tempo, Shakespeare prosperou financeiramente e passou a investir parte de sua riqueza em imóveis de Stratford. Depois de sua aposentadoria do palco, Shakespeare voltou a sua cidade natal, onde morreu em 23 de abril de 1616.
