Romeo and Juliet

This major new edition of Shakespeare's greatest tragedy of love argues that the play is ultimately Juliet's. The richly illustrated introduction looks at the play's exceptionally beautiful and complex language, and discusses the play's critical, stage and film history, including, of course, West Side Story and Baz Luhrmann's seminal "Romeo + Juliet".
