A midsummer night's dream
Material type: TextSeries: New CasebooksPublication details: New York Palgrave Macmillan 2007Description: 270pISBN: 0333693450Subject(s): Shakespeare, WilliamDDC classification: 822.33 Summary: This text presents a wide and varied selection of comment and criticism on A Midsummer Night's Dream, ranging from Jacobean times to the present day. The volume includes a discussion on the sources and influences in the play's composition and detailed accounts of significant productions. This New Casebook on A Midsummer Night's Dream traces the response of critical theory to a play peculiarly informed by modern preoccupations: imagination, representation and power; sexual repression and subjective transformation, patriarchal society, class structures and the limits of language. The essays collected here- New Critical, Marxist, Feminist, New Historicist, Cultural Materialist, Poststructuralist, Performance-oriented and Deconstructive-show the range of modern responses to these issues in the text. The introduction and end notes on individual items elucidate the main themes and methodologies, showing how each essay contributes to a vigorous wider debate about the Shakespearean text in modern culture.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
