A Midsummer Night's Dream
by Shakespeare

Introduction

In Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human Harold Bloom wrote, "The more one reads and ponders the plays of Shakespeare, the more one realizes that the accurate stance toward them is one of awe." Shakespeare is considered not only the greatest playwright who has ever lived but also one of the greatest writers and poets to have ever written. This play is one of his best-loved comedies. Lovers, fairies, a king and queen, a play within a play and much more than that inhabit this play.
