nttttt La historia de Romeo y Julieta tiene antecedentes en la mitología y literatura griegas y en algunas leyendas medievales. Durante los siglos XV y XVI fue objeto de múltiples versiones, pero fue Shakespeare quien le infundió una pasión y un dramatismo inéditos hasta entonces y que han contribuido a mantener la leyenda en la memoria colectiva. En Verona, dos jóvenes enamorados, de dos familias enemigas, son víctimas de una situación de odio y violencia que ni desean ni pueden remediar. En una de esas tardes de verano en que el calor u00abinflama la sangreu00bb, Romeo, recién casado en secreto con su amada Julieta, mata al primo de ésta. A partir de ahí Shakespeare desencadena la tragedia y precipita los acontecimientos, guiados por el azar y la fatalidad. Ángel-Luis Pujante destaca en esta edición la fuerza poética y retórica de ROMEO Y JULIETA: los juegos de palabras, la coexistencia de prosa y verso, de lo culto y lo coloquial, de lo lírico y lo dramático contribuyen a intensificar los contrastes de la acción. Clara Calvo ofrece en la Guía de lectura una rica documentación complementaria y unas sugerentes propuestas que ayudan a enriquecer la lectura de esta obra capital de la literatura universal.ntttt
