Description: "Although several recent editions of Romeo and Juliet include modern-spelling texts of the first quarto, no edition currently in print presents modern-spelling versions of the first and second quartos in parallel texts. Professor Halio's edition is unique. Using this edition, the reader may see at once how Shakespeare's manuscript of the play, upon which the second quarto is based, was adapted for the Elizabethan stage by the playwright and/or his colleagues."--BOOK JACKET.
