Published to mark the 400th anniversary of the book's original
publication, this facsimile edition faithfully reproduces one of
the finest copies held in the British Library collections. The
significance of the First Folio cannot be underestimated. It is the
only contemporary source of eighteen of Shakespeare's plays.
Without it, performances of such popular plays as The Tempest,
Twelfth Night and Macbeth would not be possible. Changes and
corrections were made during the long printing process. Small
alterations were also made to the (now iconic) portrait of
Shakespeare created by Martin Droeshout for the title page. As a
result, no two surviving copies of the First Folio are identical
and few are complete. Of the 750 copies that were originally
published, some 200 exist today. The British Library has five
copies, one of which is complete, and it is this copy that is
presented with an introductory booklet by curators Adrian S Edwards
and Tanya Kirk.

Romeo and Juliet is the world's most famous drama of tragic young
love. Defying the feud which divides their families, Romeo and
Juliet enjoy the fleeting rapture of courtship, marriage and sexual
fulfilment; but a combination of old animosities and new
coincidences brings them to suicidal deaths. This play offers a
rich mixture of romantic lyricism, bawdy comedy, intimate harmony
and sudden violence. Long successful in the theatre, it has also
generated numerous operas, ballets and films; and these have helped
to make Romeo and Juliet perennially topical.
SIGNATURE SHAKESPEARE SERIESFeaturing remarkable laser-cut paper
designs throughout, this new series offers stunning presentations
of Shakespeare's plays, complete with scholarship, commentary,
notes, and illustrated essays about Shakespeare's language and
performances of the play. It's a keepsake package worthy of the
greatest, and most loved, playwright in the English language. Each
volume in the Signature Shakespeare series includes:
- Illustration: Original paper-cuts, in the form of laser tip-ins
and scans, beautifully illustrate each play. Paintings and
photographs add depth to front and back matter.
- Scholarship: Premier scholars introduce each play with
contemporary scholarship. An essay on editing the text provides an
in-depth look at the quartos and folios used in the edition.
- Context: Essays on Shakespeare's England, language, and life,
along with essays on performing Shakespeare and significant
performances, frame the play in both historical and theatrical
context for readers. A look at the lasting influence of the play on
music, art, film, and dance creates an interdisciplinary framework
with which to approach the play.
- Notes: Through one-word margin definitions, facing-page glosses,
and longer end notes after each play, the series' approach to notes
pulls readers away from the text fewer times while providing them
with more information and comprehensive analysis.
- Further Reading - An annotated bibliography of titles,
hand-selected by the introduction author, takes readers beyond the
edition for further reading. "Romeo and Juliet-"-Shakespeare's
timeless tale of star-crossed lovers who "Do with their death bury
their parents' strife"--is one of the first two works in the
"Signature Shakespeare" series. It includes contextualizing essays
and timelines by scholar Mario DiGangi, in collaboration with one
of the world's foremost Shakespeare authorities, David Scott Kastan
of Columbia University.

The complete play translated into plain English. It's 11th century
Scotland. Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, is one of King Duncan's
greatest war captains. Upon returning from a battle with the
rebellious Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth and Banquo encounter three
witches, who prophecy that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and
then King. They also prophecy that Banquo will become the father of
kings. When Lady Macbeth hears this, she is determined to push her
husband to take fate into his own hands and make himself king by
murdering Duncan. Macbeth is reluctant to harm Duncan. But, when
the King makes arrangements to visit Macbeth's castle, the
opportunity presents itself. Pressed on by his wife, Macbeth kills
Duncan and blames the King's drunken attendants, who he also kills.
However, Macbeth is racked with guilt and begins to see
apparitions. When the body is discovered, Malcolm and Donalbain,
the King's sons, are suspicious of Macbeth and flee for their
lives. To everyone else, it looks as if the sons have been the
chief conspirators and Macbeth is crowned King of Scotland.
Banquo's suspicions grow, based on his encounter with the witches
and Macbeth is wary of the second prophecy concerning Banquo's
offspring. Macbeth hires assassins to kill Banquo and his son,
Fleance. Banquo is murdered that night, but Fleance escapes. The
bloody ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth at a feast, tormenting
his already guilty conscience. In addition, Macduff, once a comrade
of Macbeth, has fled after the King's sons to England, as he also
suspects Macbeth. In revenge, Macbeth butchers Macduff's entire
household. Macduff and the King's sons raise an army in England and
march against Macbeth, who is given another prophecy by the
witches, as he prepares for the assault. They tell him his throne
is safe until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane and he will not die by
the hand of any man born of a woman. Macbeth now feels invincible.
Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, has been slowly driven mad by her
dreams, in the wake of Duncan's murder. She sleepwalks and
eventually kills herself. Macbeth learns that many of his lords are
deserting and joining Malcolm's army, which approaches Dunsinane
under cover of boughs, which they've cut from the trees of Birnam
Wood. Macbeth and Macduff eventually meet on the bloody
battlefield. Macbeth laughs derisively, relating the witches'
prophecy. But Macduff retorts that he was from his mother's womb
untimely ripp'd and not (technically) of woman born. The play ends
with the death of Macbeth and Malcolm is crowned King of Scotland.
