Description
Excerpt from A Midsummer-Night''s Dream: Edited, With Introduction, Notes, Glossary, and Index
In arrangement the volume closely resembles my edi tions of Paradise Lost, though its general character is more elementary. My aim has been to make the Notes tolerably simple and for the most part brief. They explain rather than illustrate by parallel passages, and little space is devoted to textual matters, of which the young student seldom makes anything. To relieve and simplify the ivotes, and partly also that this aspect of Shakespeare may be studied separ ately from the text, the philological matter has been placed almost entirely in the Glossary. It will be observed that the Introduction and Notes contain a certain amount of literary criticism.
