Résumé

Penguin Shakespeare 'Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night' A young man and woman meet by chance and fall instantly in love. But their families are bitter enemies, and in order to be together the two lovers must be prepared to risk everything. Set in a city torn apart by feuds and gang warfare, Romeo and Juliet is a dazzling combination of passion and hatred, bawdy comedy and high tragedy. This book includes a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and the Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Romeo and Fuliet, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary. Edited by T.F.B. Spencer with an introduction by Adrian Poole General Editor: Stanley Wells
