PREFACE
As in the previous volumes of this series, the aim of the editor has been to present a sound text of the play, modernized in spelling and punctuation, and to furnish in the introduction and notes comment enough to render it thoroughly intelligible.
The first section of the introduction is intended to give the student an
idea of the place of Romeo and Juliet in the history of the English drama in general and of Shakspere's development in particular.
The second section deals with the date and sources of the play, and discusses Shakspere's language and versification.
The treatment of other versions of the story has been confined to the tales and poems that may be regarded as forming the genealogy of the tragedy.
The tale itself is so widespread that an account of all the forms in which it is known to have appeared would require a volume to itself.
The warmth and generous sympathy with which Shakspere has rendered the passion of the young lovers make the task of enlisting the student's interest in this tragedy an easy one.
Nowhere else has he presented with such brilliance and intensity the intoxication of first love and the lyrical passages in which this finds its
loftiest expression are such as to make the first claim of the play for attention lie in its sheer poetry.
Even if its dramatic qualities had been negligible, Romeo and Juliet would have held a high place among English poems.
But its dramatic qualities are not negligible.
The action of the play not only serves to bring out a group of clearly delineated characters, but it shows us the hero and heroine undergoing
marked development.
Up to the time when this play appeared, Shakspere had attempted nothing of this kind.
The characters in the early comedies and histories had been led through
varied experiences, but their natures had remained unchanged.
But here Juliet is transformed from a young girl, delightfully frank and spontaneous but utterly untested and inexperienced, into a woman capable of carrying out alone a plan that called for strength of will and steadfastness of purpose, and finally of refusing to survive all that made life worth living for her.
Romeo, meanwhile, is purged of the boyish sentimental fancy he had been nursing for Rosaline, is taught by Juliet that true love demands deeds as well as words, and rises at the close to the full stature of a man.
The ennobling effect of love, of which the writers of the Renaissance had so much to say, has seldom been more convincingly presented.
Further, the plot has a marked interest of its own.
It opens with a scene expounding the feud which disturbs the peace of Verona.
The turning point of the action is the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio as a result of this feud.
The concluding scene shows the reconciliation of the hostile factions.
Thus the political story envelops the love story, and provides the
complication which turns love into tragedy; while the death of the lovers is not only a triumph of constancy over external obstacles, but the means of solving the political problem.
These three elements, then, the poetry of the speeches, the development of the characters, and the significance of the action, form the chief features
of a plan of study of Romeo and Juliet.
