About the book
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, written around 1595. It was first printed in 1597, and a fuller text followed in 1599. Shakespeare took the story from an English poem by Arthur Brooke, The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet, published in 1562, which itself drew on Italian tales.
