Shakespeare's Plays
In Magazine Form
A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM
By William Shakespeare. Edited by Farnworth Wright. Chicago: Wright's Shakespeare Library, 35 cents.
Here is a brand-new idea in publishing the Shakespeare plays, this being the first of the series. In this magazine-like publication, the complete authentic text is printed in large and beautiful type on good paper with ample margin, with 25 drawings by Virgil Finlay. The purpose is to make Shakespeare as attractive to everybody as he should be. Both the editor and the illustrator are Shakespeare enthusiasts, and they are realizing a life-long dream in thus presenting the plays in the most readable form at a popular price. Only the spelling and the punctuation have been modernized, and at the end there is a glossary and a series of comments.
A Midsummer Nights Dream. By William Shakespeare. Wright's Shakespeare Library. A de luxe edition with authentic text, large print and 25 excellent illustrations.
