A fully annotated editon of Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare′s famous tale of star-crossed lovers, that examines what the play is about, its structure, and the context in which it was written.

Romeo and Juliet is part of a collection of annotated classics inspired by the popular Crash Course Lit video series and its mission to explore how to read and why. Reading critically is more than a treasure hunt for symbols and themes. It means looking closely at a text and paying attention to the subtle ways the author is trying to communicate the full complexity of human experience. Reading critically and understanding language builds a fuller understanding of lives other than your own, helps you to be more empathetic, and can give you the linguistic tools to share your own story with more precision.

The books' annotations will guide readers to a better understanding of complex texts and model an approach to thoughtful reading that gives us better ways to communicate and connect to each other.
William Shakespeare (1564–1616) was a poet, playwright, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers in the history of the English language. Often referred to as the Bard of Avon, Shakespeare's vast body of work includes comedic, tragic, and historical plays; poems; and 154 sonnets. His dramatic works have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
