This updated critical edition offers a fresh Introduction by Hester Lees-Jeffries that situates Romeo and Juliet within its 1590s context, linking it to other Shakespearean works and contemporary literature. It examines social and cultural themes such as marriage, gender, and sexuality, alongside the historical backdrop of London and Italy. The edition also discusses the play's performance history from the Restoration to modern adaptations in film and young-adult fiction, while retaining G. Blakemore Evans' commentary and textual analysis, enhanced by recent research insights.
