Her idea of "subterranean networks of wordplay" that also involves central themes of his plays is unique and must be allowed space in a no doubt unparalleled edition of Dream. Questions answered:

To jettison such a reputation in the name of supposed increased profitability can only be counterproductive. Arden will keep its profitable niche in the literary market only by continuing to employ the foremost experts on each text, and giving them the time they need to crystallize their criticism. Reinstate Dr. Parker, and publish her manuscript when it is ready.Questions answered:
