Product Description:
As well as the complete and unabridged text, each play in this series has an extensive range of student's notes. These include detailed and clear explanations of difficult words and passages, a synopsis of the plot, summaries of individual scenes, and notes on the main characters. Also included is a wide range of questions and activities for work in class, together with the historical background to Shakespeare's England, a brief biography of Shakespeare, and a complete list of his plays. For this new edition, the text of the play, the notes, and the introductory matter have all been revised so as to make them clearer and more accessible.

This book was the Shakespeare book I read in grade 9 english class. It helped me by the left cloumn was where the words that were used in sentences were. Thats if you didn't understand the old words. I sure didn't so it helped me out a lot. I would recomend this book to anyone. It was a good play at least I think it was. At each new scene there was a synopsis of the scene and at the beginning of the book there was a character sketch of all the characters.

This version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is part of the Oxford School Shakespeare Series. It is the copy that was given to my 7th-grade honors English class a few weeks ago. Though I found the story a bit dull at times (what normal middle-schooler likes a book assigned for school), most of the sidenotes in this version were very helpful to me. This book offers an exact copy of Shakespeare's play, as well as sidenotes explaining words that are not used anymore. It also contains a lot of background information on the characters and a brief synopsis. In all, I would recommend this version to younger readers and students, as it offers a lot of helpful tools for better understanding of the play.
