Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

"This annotated edition of The Tragedie of Romeo and Juliet restores the language of Shakespeare to that of the First Folio of 1623. It provides footnotes and annotations, candid and plainspoken in their accounting of Shakespeare's themes. An introduction is included, as are appendices detailing typographical errors, stage directions, emended lineations and character tags from the First Folio"--Provided by publisher.

Work Description
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young Italian star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.
