A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Combining an exploration of Shakespeare's language with specific help for students looking to develop their own critical responses and skills, this lively and informative guide uses close reading of A Midsummer Night's Dream to explore its themes and plot. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a perfect play for exploring Shakespeare's diverse uses of language to reveal character and themes, from formal iambics and rhyming couplets of courtiers and lovers, and 'warbling' notes' and nursery rhythms of fairies, to stocky prose by the artisan players including Bottom's comic malapropisms.
