Pericles - (Arden Shakespeare Third) 3rd Edition by William Shakespeare (Paperback)

This comprehensive edition of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" offers a full and critical performance history, with an introduction that showcases how the play's performance history has parallelled criticism over the years.

The book provides an interpretation of this two-generation romance, with its successive male and female central characters, based on a reading "through the family," and influenced by feminist and new historicist criticism of the last two decades.

The edition integrates cumulative research on Shakespeare's collaborative authorship and the transmission of the text without rewriting the play or ignoring years of emendations.

With a foreword by Professor Suzanne Gossett, this edition is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the nuances of this classic play.
