See all formats and editions

One of Shakespeare's most popular and accessible plays, Romeo and Juliet tells the story of two star-crossed lovers and the unhappy fate that befell them as a result of a long and bitter feud between their families. The play contains some of Shakespeare's most beautiful and lyrical love poetry and is perhaps the finest celebration of the joys of young love ever written. This inexpensive edition includes the complete, unabridged text with explanatory footnotes. Ideal for classroom use, it is a wonderful addition to the home library of anyone wanting to savor one of literature's most sublime paeans to love.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

"He was not of an age, but for all time," declared Ben Jonson of his contemporary William Shakespeare (1564–1616). Jonson's praise is especially prescient, since at the turn of the 17th century Shakespeare was but one of many popular London playwrights and none of his dramas were printed in his lifetime. The reason so many of his works survive is because two of his actor friends, with the assistance of Jonson, assembled and published the First Folio edition of 1623.

I haven’t read it yet but since it’s Shakespeare i’m assuming it’s gonna be good. The packaging was good and came with no damage to it!

Perfect summer reading for my 12 year old. I bought 2 copies and we took turns playing the different character. It was funny at times and the reading can be challenging at times but a great precursor to more complex literature that she will be introduced to in a few years.

Romeo and Juliet - a beautiful portrayal in modern canvas

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2012

Verified Purchase

Romeo and Juliet is one of the all time classics of the legend Shakespeare. Such is the charm and magnetism of this epoch-making play that even today -almost 400 years after it was published -the lovers still swear by Romeo and Juliet. The Dover Thrift edition of Romeo and Juliet made an interesting reading. The language and dialogues, far from being archaic are animating. It infuses life into the eternal charm of Juliet and bravery of Romeo. The romance between the protagonists was never so enchanting neither the catastrophe of the tragedy so heart-rending. Cast on the background of disgusting hatred between their families, the Love of Romeo and Juliet shines like a bright star, thus, driving home the age old message that virtue of Love always reigns supreme.

You can certainly buy this book for a memorable brush with genre of Romantic tragedy!

Great cheap edition for a casual reader

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

Certainly can't beat the price. Note to any people hoping to use this in a classroom though: This version does not contain line numbers (which might be required by your teacher/necessary for your students), and the annotations are not especially good--sometimes giving misleading or incomplete translations. This shouldn't bother most people, but anyone wanting to write a paper on the book or use it at the university level should really just shell out a few extra bucks for a nicer edition.

Reviewed in Italy on August 22, 2014

Libro in ottimo stato, spedizione eccellente, tutto ok. Tuttavia per me resta una lettura difficile in quanto richiede un buon livello di lingua inglese, infatti si tratta dell'edizione originale (o comunque che presenta forme e termini antiquati).
