Description

One of William Shakespeare's most notable works, Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy depicting the tale of 'star-crossed lovers' whose untimely deaths reunite two feuding families - the House of Capulet and the House of Montague. The exact date of Shakespeare writing Romeo and Juliet remains unknown; however, based on the dates of his other works can be placed between 1591 and 1595. One theory is that Shakespeare began a draft in 1591, which he completed in 1595.

Romeo and Juliet was published in two quarto (the size of most modern magazines) editions prior to the publication of the First Folio (scholarly term for Shakespeare's written collection of plays) of 1623.
