Thought it's odd to think about there being older plays and newer plays by Shakespeare, he of course wrote all his plays over the course of his life. A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest are two of his works that are often compared to one another. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play that Shakespeare did in his earlier days, while The Tempest is one of the plays he finished towards the end of his days. Each play has it's own merits, but I found a monograph analysis that talks a bit about them, and then focuses on A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's a good read and makes for some interesting ideas, so please read it here in website form!
