Romeo and Juliet by Rs White
As one of the world's greatest love stories Romeo and Juliet continues to excite new theatre-goers, readers and film-goers. Its depiction of tragic lovers strikes a chord in each generation of young people, and seems to speak in their own idiom. As such, it reflects, and allows us to analyse, changing attitudes to sex in a violent world. This collection of contemporary essays raises topical debates about the nature of love conventions, as well as offering new insights into Shakespeare's text.
'..an excellent teaching resource and an inspiring text for general readers...White has managed to collect a wonderfully diverse group of contributions, including not only engagements with film but also two reworkings of the play's language...in fresh, clear prose, it offers the latest in thinking about Romeo and Juliet.' - Philippa Kelly, University of New South Wales, The Journal of the Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association
