توضیحات
This edition of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream reprints the Bevington edition of the play accompanied by four sets of primary documents and illustrations thematically arranged to offer a richly textured understanding of early modern culture and Shakespeare's work within that culture. The texts, including facsimiles of period documents, conduct literature, county records, reports of court entertainments, and Queen Elizabeth's speeches, contextualize the play's treatment of popular and royal festivity, communities of women (including Amazons, gossips, and nuns), marriage expectations, and the supernatural.

I disliked this enough to forget to mark it as read. This one really was too annoying with its depiction of "love" and women that I was just having a terrible time pushing through very questionable thought processes and dialogues. It's disappointing since I thought this could be a new favorite (given my love for fairies/fae folk since childhood)
