SUMMARY:

A Midsummer Night’s Dream (c. 1595) is widely considered Shakespeare’s most Ovidian play. Its subplot features a group of amateur actors preparing and performing a stage adaptation of the Pyramus and Thisbe episode from book four of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. It has been recognized that this play within the play mirrors the action of the main plot, but the eloping pair of lovers is only one among many elements in the play –including an actual physical transformation– that point back to the Metamorphoses. In order to examine the transtextual relations the Dream establishes with the Metamorphoses, this thesis compares the hipertextual practices of the interlude to the intertextual engagement with Ovid in the main plot. It also contextualizes Shakespeare’s uses of Ovid within the Ovidian vogue of English literature in the 1590s and the translation movement from the early Elizabethan period, with emphasis to Arthur Golding’s 1567 translation of the Metamorphoses.
