A Midsummer Night's Dream (Signet Classics) Review: 420 year later and more lucid than ever - A Midsummer Night's Dream was written 420 years ago so it's syntax of Elizabethan English is quite different and foreign to our modern American English. William Shakespeare was brilliant but his writing reflects his time so it is imperative to have a guide of sorts to breakdown his syntax into our modern syntax making the experience of reading Shakespeare more fulfilling. This is where A Midsummer Night's Dream (Shakespeare Made Clear) comes in handy as it is the ultimate accompanying guide to the famous story. This accompanying guide version makes understanding Shakespeare easier and more enjoyable. The guide includes an introductory discussion of the play's themes and characters, its dramatic structure, its history and historical context and of course its author and insightful summary at the end. This accompanying guide makes understanding Shakespeare easier and useful by having a new modern interpretation and translation of Shakespeare's original text underneath the original text provided line by line on every page of the play. This is then followed by a detailed explanation featuring insights in Shakespeare's original text with historical facts and deeper motives. As the accompanying guide concludes there is a very helpful and intriguing insight into the play's major themes. I highly suggest that if you want to not only grasp understanding the complexities of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream but also gain a deeper appreciation for it then buy this most helpful of all accompanying guides to this timeless touching, playful and insightful story. Review: Wonderful Edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream - I just ordered this edition of the play and have been utterly thrilled. I wish that we had used a version like this in my college Shakespeare classes. I am preparing to teach a class (for ages 10 and up) on "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and a friend recommended this lovely edition as a great version for children. I didn't realize that it could also be a great version for adults! For many of the students in my class, this will be their first Shakespeare play *in the original language* and *unabridged*. This version makes the entire play so much more accessible. Each page has Shakespeare's text on the right side and an explanation on the left (a quick summary at the top, plus explanations of unusual phrases/words below that). In addition, many pages include photos of different versions of that very scene. Plus, the book has several color photos of various productions and includes teaching ideas. The book is so good that I already gave my copy away and have to order more for the class, so I can't refer to it right now to add additional details for the review! This book was a lovely surprise and well worth the money. I own The Riverside Shakespeare, so I didn't think I needed another edition of any of Shakespeare's plays. This book proved me wrong. Even though I am an adult and have already read most of the bard's plays, I still found this version educational and entertaining. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #63,679 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #63 in Dramas & Plays #228 in Classic American Literature #1,107 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,209) | | Dimensions | 4.13 x 0.5 x 7 inches | | Edition | 2nd Revised ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0451526961 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0451526960 | | Item Weight | 4.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 240 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 1998 | | Publisher | Signet | | Reading age | 3+ years, from customers | ## Images ![A Midsummer Night's Dream (Signet Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8157ocsFR1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 420 year later and more lucid than ever *by J***H on October 1, 2013* A Midsummer Night's Dream was written 420 years ago so it's syntax of Elizabethan English is quite different and foreign to our modern American English.
