A staple of high school reading lists, the tragedy especially resonates with young adult readers who, like Romeo and Juliet, have experienced the exhilarating and perilous phenomenon of being \"in love\". Given the tragic ending of the play, what does Shakespeare illustrate about his teen protagonists: Are they the hapless victims of fate, or are they responsible for the poor choices they make? Is their love the \"real thing\", or is it self-indulgent passion run amok? These are some of the ever relevant questions discussed in this critical edition of \u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Ignatius Critical Editions\u003c\/i\u003e represent a tradition-oriented alternative to popular textbook series such as the \u003ci\u003eNorton Critical Editions\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eOxford World Classics\u003c\/i\u003e, and are designed to concentrate on traditional readings of the Classics of world literature. While many modern critical editions have succumbed to the fads of modernism and post-modernism, this series will concentrate on tradition-oriented criticism of these great works. Edited by acclaimed literary biographer, Joseph Pearce, the \u003ci\u003eIgnatius Critical Editions\u003c\/i\u003e will ensure that traditional moral readings of the works are given prominence, instead of the feminist, or deconstructionist readings that often proliferate in other series of 'critical editions'. As such, they represent a genuine extension of consumer-choice, enabling educators, students and lovers of good literature to buy editions of classic literary works without having to 'buy into' the ideologies of secular fundamentalism. \u003cbr\u003eThe series is ideal for anyone wishing to understand great works of western civilization, enabling the modern reader to enjoy these classics in the company of some of the finest literature professors alive today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStar-crossed Romeo and Juliet are Shakespeare's most famous lovers.
