From the Folger Shakespeare Library comes a new edition of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The Folger's world-class team of scholars, theater makers, and researchers offer a new generation of readers contemporary perspectives on the timeless provocations and questions of this tragic love story.

Shakespeare may have died in 1616, but the English playwright and actor is everywhere in our world today. His plays and poems
pop up in sitcoms, song lyrics, comedy sketches, and commercials. His words have been quoted, performed, adapted,
transformed, interrogated, hated, and loved. Shakespeare opens a dynamic field of play that ignites creativity and curiosity. And
the Folger Shakespeare Library wants you to know that Shakespeare’s many possibilities are for you.
