"Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.

Romeo and Juliet had a profound influence on subsequent literature. Before then, romance had not even been viewed as a worthy topic for tragedy. In Harold Bloom's words, Shakespeare "invented the formula that the sexual becomes the erotic when crossed by the shadow of death". Of Shakespeare's works, Romeo and Juliet has generated the most - and the most varied - adaptations, including prose and verse narratives, drama, opera, orchestral and choral music, ballet, film, television, and painting. The word "Romeo" has even become synonymous with "male lover" in English.

The most famous and inspirational works of William Shakespeare include: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Orpheus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest, Venus and Adonis, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale and many more.

How can you go past one of the greatest works in history. Tragic yet every moment before so beautiful. Words do create love, it’s that simple.

Creative Critic

Cheap paper. Disappointing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2019

Verified Purchase

I know it's incredibly cheap but the paper is so thin it's almost dangerous to turn the pages for fear of tearing it. The pages are also a light brown or yellow colour, not white. My daughter needed this for school - she needed to be able to annotate the pages. I wouldn't try to write on this - a pencil or biro would just go through the page. Any liquid ink would soak in like a blotter. I know you get what you pay for but even this is poor.

Exactly what I ordered for my child (school).

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2020

Verified Purchase

This was exactly what I ordered. I have to say the plot was a little far fetched and a bit too ‘West Side Story’ for my liking. Whoever this Will Shakespeare guy is, I don’t expect he’ll do very well. This story definitely needed more aliens and at least one robot to make it a page turner.

Excellent for Secondary School

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2019

This book is, in my opinion, the best version for those in Year 9-10. It has definitions of words/phrases that you are unsure on the left side of the text. Very helful when reading in class to further develop your understanding of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

Highly Recommend

Queen Bee

Great edition to help with GCSE English

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2021

Verified Purchase

I needed to get this book for my daughter who's studying for her GCSE's and it's the same author of the play romeo and juliet. It's made learning for her subject, English, a lot easier.
It did come slightly marked which was a little annoying but as the spine of the book had been broken we took it to be new.
That's the only reason it's 4 starts not 5.
