Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Memoranda on the Midsummer Night´s Dream: A. D. 1879 and A. D. 1855 Stowe´s notice of the "fair harvest" in August is inconsistent with Titania´s description. Let us hope that the following new evidence derived from Spenser may be considered to be of a more decisive character. It is this. There seems to be a certainty that Shakespeare, in the composition of the Midsummer Night´s Dream, had in one place a recollection of the sixth book of the Faerie Queene, published in 1596, for he all but literally quotes the following line from the eighth canto of that book, - "Through hils and dales, through bushes and through breres" Faerie Queene, ed. 1596, p. 460. As the Midsummer Night´s Dream was not printed until the year 1600, and it is impossible that Spenser could have been present at any representation of the comedy before he had written the sixth book of the Faerie Queene, it may fairly be concluded that Shakspeare´s play was not composed at the earliest before the year 1596, in fact, not until some time after January the 20th, 1595-6, on which day the Second Part of the Faerie Queene was entered on the books of the Stationers´ Company.
