Edited, introdukted and annotated by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English Literature, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth Classics 'Shakespeare Series presents a novo-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. Textová úprava sa vzťahuje na poslednú školu, pri ktorej sa dáva materiál a dôkladný reappraisal. Romeo a Juliet je svetový most slávnej drámy z tragickej mladej lásky. Defying feud, ktoré divides ich rodiny, Rómeo a Juliet berú na vedomie o fleeting rapture of courtship, marriage and sexual fulfilment; ale kombinácia starých animácií a nové coincidencie brings them to suicidal deaths. Tento play offers a rich mixture of romantic lyricism, bawdy comedy, intimate harmony and sudden violence. Long successful in theatre, it has also generated numeros operas, ballets and films; and these helped to make Romeo and Juliet perennially topical.
