In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a violent world, in which
two young people fall in love. It is not simply that their families
disapprove; the Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood
feud. In this death-filled setting, the movement from love at first
sight to the lovers' final union in death seems almost inevitable.
And yet, this play set in an extraordinary world has become the
quintessential story of young love. In part because of its
exquisite language, it is easy to respond as if it were about all
young lovers. The authoritative edition of Romeo and Juliet from
The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used
Shakespeare series for students and general readers, includes:
-Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the
play -Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages
facing the text of the play -Scene-by-scene plot summaries -A key
to the play's famous lines and phrases -An introduction to reading
Shakespeare's language -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar
providing a modern perspective on the play -Fresh images from the
Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books -An
up-to-date annotated guide to further reading Essay by Gail Kern
