Romeo and Juliet

Fülszöveg

COMPLETE AND UNABRIDGED: `For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night' Though not actually a tragedy, the story of the two `star-crossed lovers' bears witness to Shakespeare's growing skill in shaping tragic drama. As Romeo and Juliet come from opposing families, their love must be concealed until after their marriage. But Romeo has been banished for avenging the death of Mercutio and, despite the well-meaning intervention of Friar Laurence, fate ensures that theirs is a wedding that will never take place. This edition of the text contains notes, a glossary and an introduction.
