For this updated critical edition of Romeo and Juliet, Hester
Lees-Jeffries has written a completely new introduction. It draws
on recent research in theatre to set Romeo and Juliet in its
mid-1590s context, making connections with other plays by
Shakespeare and other literature of the period, as well as with the
social and cultural contexts of the day, with discussions of London
and Italy, dancing and duelling, marriage, gender and sexuality. It
includes detailed discussion of the play in performance from the
Restoration to the present day, with a particular focus on film
(including global cinema), music and dance, and also explores other
adaptations and afterlives, including young-adult fiction. The
edition retains the commentary and Textual Analysis of the previous
editor, G. Blakemore Evans; the Textual Analysis is prefaced with a
short note contextualising its conclusions in the light of more
recent research.
