Klappentext This annotated edition of The Tragedie of Romeo and Juliet provides two valuable textual services to its readers. It restores the language of Shakespeare to that of the First Folio of 1623! with its idiosyncratic but illuminating spelling! capitalization! and punctuation. It also provides footnotes and annotations that are candid and plainspoken in their accounting of Shakespeare's themes! especially his frequent if oft-overlooked and underappreciated bawdy puns and allusions. An extensive introduction is included! as are appendices detailing typographical errors! stage directions! emended lineations and character tags from the First Folio.
