Answer 1

Ответ:

Romeo and Juliet can be plausibly dated to 1595. Shakespeare must have written the play between 1591 and 1596. The earliest date is considered to be too early, because of Shakespeare’s writing style in the play. The later date allows the necessary time for the compilation of the manuscript used to print the first ‘bad’ quarto in early 1597. Romeo and Juliet relates most closely to a group of plays usually dated to the period 1594-1595, Love’s Labour’s Lost, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Richard II.

Early performances

Romeo and Juliet had certainly been performed by 1597, when the first quarto was published. There are no surviving records for any performances before the Restoration in 1660, but it is likely that Romeo and Juliet was first acted by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men at the Theatre and then at the Curtain. It has been suggested that Richard Burbage may have played Romeo, with the boy actor Robert Goffe as Juliet.

Publication in quarto and folio

Romeo and Juliet appeared in seven editions before 1642.

First quarto, 1597. A ‘bad’ quarto, based on a text reconstructed from memory by a group who knew the play on stage. The text may have been one cut and adapted for performance. The title-page refers to ‘L. Hunsdon his seruants’, the name of Shakespeare’s company only until 16 March 1597.

Second quarto, 1599. A ‘good’ quarto, probably printed from Shakespeare’s foul papers, described on the title-page as ‘Newly corrected, augmented, and amended’. The first quarto was probably also used, perhaps to help interpret the manuscript. The text is nearly half as long again as that in the first quarto.

Third quarto, 1609. Printed from the second quarto.

Fourth quarto, [1622]. Printed from the third quarto, but the first quarto was also used. The titlepage is undated, but modern scholarship suggests the publication date of 1622. (Additional copy of a variant, with ‘Written by W. Shake-speare’ on the title-page, from the Folger Shakespeare Library.)

First folio, 1623. Printed from the third quarto, although a number of passages follow the fourth quarto.

Second folio, 1632. Printed from the first folio.

Fifth quarto, 1637. Printed from the fourth quarto.

The first ‘bad’ quarto was probably printed between late 1596 and March 1597, by the printers John Danter and Edward Allde. Danter was raided by the Stationers’ Company and his presses destroyed in February or March 1597, for printing books without their authority. The second ‘good’ quarto was printed by Thomas Creede for Cuthbert Burby in 1599. Burby transferred his copyright in Romeo and Juliet to Nicholas Ling on 22 January 1607. Ling in his turn transferred the copyright to John Smethwick on 19 November 1607. The third quarto did not appear until 1609, when it was printed by John Windet for John Smethwick. The fourth quarto, printed for Smethwick by William Stansby, appeared in 1622. John Smethwick also published the fifth quarto of 1637, printed by R. Young.
