书籍简介

《仲夏夜之梦》，是英国剧作家威廉·莎士比亚创作的一部喜剧。《仲夏夜之梦》是一部富有浪漫色彩的喜剧，讲述了一个有情人终成眷属的爱情故事。

《仲夏夜之梦》的首次上演，是在1594年5月2日托马斯·赫尼奇爵士和骚桑普顿伯爵夫人结婚的前夕，地点是在骚桑普顿庄园，看来该剧是为爵士婚礼助兴之作。

此剧在世界文学史特别是戏剧史上影响巨大，后人将其改编成电影、故事、游戏、绘画等。

“莎士比亚诸多版本中的金科玉律式的版本”。——著名莎士比亚专家、美国莎士比亚协会前任会长大卫·贝文顿（David Bevington）教授

《阿登版莎士比亚》所面对的读者，主要定位于学术界读者和普通读者（包括学者、大学生、演员、戏迷等）。

每部作品前都有长篇导读序文，详细介绍了莎士比亚作品的情节来源、剧本结构、戏剧语言、人物塑造、文体风格、文本沿革、时代背景、演出历史及综合性莎学名家的相关评论等。社会上一般的莎士比亚注释本多半比较简略，《阿登版莎士比亚》的特点是注释非常详细，这对于文学研究者、翻译者、英语学习者来说，无疑是当前最理想的版本。其次，系列丛书在注释方面有歧义者，往往是诸说并存的前提下，校订者同时客观地提出了本人的倾向性看法。

各书末尾有各类附录，往往与剧情原型相关，或与作品的形成有较为明显的渊源关系。这些资料都有可靠的来源，学术价值颇高。有不少书中还提供剧中格局乐谱，当时剧院的构成情况等内容。所以，本丛书可供欣赏、研究莎士比亚用，也具有深化英语学习的作用，还具有颇高的收藏价值。
