Description
Through fresh and unconventional approaches, including critical/historical, printing/publishing and performance studies, this study mines Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" to produce insights into the early modern family, the individual, and society in the context of early modern capitalism. It also includes a CD-ROM.
'The authors do an excellent job exploring what they call "the border between bibliography and literary criticism, on the one hand, and the performance history of theatre practice and contemporary production strategies, on the other" to reveal alternative ways of understanding Romeo and Juliet. This will become essential reading for students, teachers, scholars, and all theatre professionals interested in Shakespeare's great romantic tragedy.' Jay L. Halio, University of Delaware, USA ’From the deadly first word of its title onwards, Negotiating Shakespeare's Language in Romeo and Juliet is an exemplary piece of contemporary textual scholarship. ... will interest those who want to know how the printed book and the internet may best complement one another ... Here is perhaps the most careful and thorough account yet of the play's textual history, in a very wide sense.’ Times Literary Supplement
