Summary
Addressed to "Hochgeehrter Herr Director," possibly a publisher. Hermann offers a lengthy defence of the first edition of his study, a reading of A midsummer night's dream as allegory and satire, which had met with much adverse criticism. But Hermann is sure that, unlike his detractors, he has not been guided by preconceived ideas. Also mentions his projected study in textual criticism of Troilus and Cressida
