Hannah August pays particular attention to the dramatic function of the famous prologue and the significance of the play's ending. August also explores ways of reading the play as a text that queries rather than validates the tenets of heterosexual romantic love, proving that at multiple points throughout the play's four-hundred-years-plus stage history, Verona has more queer than the prevailing view of \u003cem\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/em\u003e as a core text of heterosexual love might lead us to believe. It includes a substantial section which addresses the play's early modern production and reception history in both print and performance, as well as providing an overview of later performance traditions drawing on up-to-date examples of key productions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare's works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems.
