Uniquely, this guide analyses the play's critical and performance
history and recent criticism, as well as including five essays
offering radically new paths for contemporary interpretation. The
subject matter of these essays is rich and diverse, ranging across
the play's philosophical identification of sexual love with
self-realization, the hermeneutic implications of an editor's
textual choices, the minor characters of the play in relation to
Renaissance performance traditions, Romeo and Juliet in opera and
ballet, and the play's Italian sources and afterlives. The guide
also contains a chapter on the key resources available, including
scholarly editions and easily available DVDs, and discusses the
ways in which they can be used in the classroom to aid
understanding and provoke further debate. Edited by leading scholar
Julia Reinhard Lupton, this is an essential guide for both students
and scholars of Shakespeare.
