Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young 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. Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. The plot is based on an Italian tale translated into verse as The Tragical History of fomeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but expanded the plot by developing a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in a quarto version in 1597. The text of the first quarto version was of poor quality, however, and later editions corrected the text to conform more closely with Shakespeare's original

In literature, music, dance, and theatre, the characters of Romeo and Juliet have been widely depicted as young hero and heroine whose families are unforgiving enemies. Even today, in the popular imagination, they are the representative type of star-crossed lovers. Principal source for the plot of this drama was a long narrative poem by the English poet Arthur Brooke. Scenes are set in Verona, Italy. Juliet and Romeo meet and fall instantly in love and they profess their love when Romeo, unwilling to leave, climbs the wall into the orchard garden of her familys house and finds her alone at her window. As their families are enemies, the two are married secretly. But their rivalry affects the relationship of their children. Due to their families' ongoing conflict, they cannot be together, so they kill themselves because they cannot cope with being separated from one another. Thus, Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story.

Book excerpt: A riveting, real-life equivalent of The Kite Runner—an astonishingly powerful and profoundly moving story of a young couple willing to risk everything for love that puts a human face on the ongoing debate about women’s rights in the Muslim world. Zakia and Ali were from different tribes, but they grew up on neighboring farms in the hinterlands of Afghanistan. By the time they were young teenagers, Zakia, strikingly beautiful and fiercely opinionated, and Ali, shy and tender, had fallen in love. Defying their families, sectarian differences, cultural conventions, and Afghan civil and Islamic law, they ran away together only to live under constant threat from Zakia’s large and vengeful family, who have vowed to kill her to restore the family’s honor. They are still in hiding. Despite a decade of American good intentions, women in Afghanistan are still subjected to some of the worst human rights violations in the world. Rod Nordland, then the Kabul bureau chief of the New York Times, had watched these abuses unfold for years when he came upon Zakia and Ali, and has not only chronicled their plight, but has also shepherded them from danger. The Lovers will do for women’s rights generally what Malala’s story did for women’s education. It is an astonishing story about self-determination and the meaning of love that illustrates, as no policy book could, the limits of Western influence on fundamentalist Islamic culture and, at the same time, the need for change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together current intermedial discourses on Shakespeare, music, and dance with the affective turn in the humanities, Dramaturgies of Love in Romeo and Juliet offers a unique and highly innovative transdisciplinary discussion of "unspeakable" love in one of the most famous love stories in literary history: the tragic romance of Romeo and Juliet. Through in-depth case studies and historical contextualisation, this book showcases how the "woes that no words can sound" of Shakespeare’s iconic lovers nevertheless have found expression not only in his verbal poetry, but also in non-verbal adaptations of the play in 19th-century symphonic music and 20th- and 21st-century theatre dance. Combining methodological approaches from diverse disciplines, including affect theory, musicology, and dance studies, this study opens up a new perspective onto the artistic representation of love, defining amorous emotion as a generically transformative constellation of dialogic performativity. To explore how this constellation has become manifest across the arts, this book analyses and compares dramatic, musical, and choreographic dramatisations of love in William Shakespeare’s early modern tragedy, French composer Hector Berlioz’s dramatic symphony Roméo et Juliette (1839), and the staging of Berlioz’s symphony by German contemporary choreographer Sasha Waltz for the Paris Opera Ballet (2007).

Book excerpt: The tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" is one of the most famous plays written by the English author, William Shakespeare. It's one of the most famous love-themed tragedies ever. It was the first tragedy ever written by Shakespeare. He wrote it in 1593 after completing his two comedies, which are less known nowadays. The piece was written during the first phase of his career as a writer. It was inspired by a commonly known legend about two lovers from Verona, who ended their lives tragically because of love. Even Dante mentioned the tragedy of the families Montague and Capulet in his Divine Comedy, in part referring to the Purgatory. Additionally, there are records pointing to the fact that it was a historical event from 1303. Also, the love story was mentioned in work called "History of Verona," which was printed in the period around 1595. Several authors used the motif of a tragic couple of Verona in their works before Shakespeare; however, Shakespeare's version remained the most famous one.The tragedy tells the story about two young people that fall in love with each other, despite the animosity between their families that are consumed by hatred and rivalry. Their love seems impossible at first, but they get married secretly. In the course of various conflicts occurring between the two families, Romeo murders Juliet's cousin and thus has to leave the country. However, he remains in hiding, not to leave Juliet behind.Juliet's parents want to marry her to a prominent nobleman, but she would rather die than violate her love and marriage with Romeo. She receives help again from the priest who married them. He gives Juliet a potion that would put her to sleep but not kill her, so that her family would think she is dead, setting her free. The priest sends the message to Romeo, telling him that Juliet is alive.However, the message never reaches him. After hearing about Juliet's death, Romeo arrives at her tomb, where he takes his life by drinking poison because he sees no sense in living a life without Juliet. Upon that, Juliet wakes up and tries to drink the last drops of poison from Romeo's lips to die, but when she sees that it is not enough, she takes a dagger and commits suicide.Both families then realize that their irrational hatred took the lives of young people, but it failed to stop true love, which is the sole morality of the story.This tragedy is the source of several timeless sentences that remain quoted to this day. Among them is the most famous one: "O Romeo, o Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" It is as if Juliet almost curses her fate for falling in love with Romeo, yet it does not stop her from loving him. The balcony scenes in which Romeo declares his love to Juliet have remained a synonym to romantic declarations of love to this day, and all love stories are compared to this very one, known as the greatest love story ever.The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was written in pentameter. The introduction was written in the form of the Shakespearean sonnet, comprised of 14 lines.
