Book Description

Publication Date: January 18, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0197290396 | ISBN-13: 978-0197290392

Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet was performed around 1595 and published in 1597 in a quarto claiming on its title page that it was printed by John Danter. The present volume is a photographic facsimile of this text, taken from the copy in the Huntington Library in California. The text reproduced here includes in the margins through-line numbering both for the Quarto and for the equivalent passages in the 1623 Folio, as well as a table that matches the Quarto pages and the line numbers with the act, scene, and line numbers of the Riverside Shakespeare.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"All in all it is a magnificent piece of work, and, if you believe the new millennium began with 2000, this edition is a splendid start for the Malone Society in this epoch."--Shakespeare Bulletin
