Recenzii
"In her excellent, comprehensive introduction to this exciting new collection of essays, Regina Buccola rightly states that 'the authors gathered here have offered new visions of [A Midsummer Night's] Dream on the page and on the stage.' Although several books and collections on the Dream have appeared over the years that help introduce students and teachers to various critical approaches making this play more thoroughly enjoyable as well as accessible, Buccola's collection updates and carries the process considerably further; hence, the book is an indispensable guide to anyone interested in plumbing deeper the rich depths of Shakespeare's comedy." - Jay Halio, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Delaware, USA
