William Shakespeare
&
Romeo and Juliet
Thesis: Students will locate information on William Shakespeare’s life, the Elizabethan Era,
the Elizabethan theatre, some of controversy surrounding Shakespeare and his writing, and
information to aid in the comprehension of Romeo and Juliet.
This Pathfinder is intended to help students locate biographical information on Shakespeare
and any information on Romeo and Juliet that will aid in comprehension. Before reading
Romeo and Juliet, I like students to have a basic understanding of the life and times of
William Shakespeare. In addition, students like to use resources to help them understand
the play. I want to direct them to the best information for assistance with comprehension.
This Pathfinder will lead students to reliable sources in both areas.
This Pathfinder is aimed at high school students, specifically ninth graders, as the embark
on a study of Shakespeare and prior to reading Romeo and Juliet. However, the
biographical information could be used with any high school student before reading
Shakespeare.
Key Resources: Throughout this Pathfinder, four Key Resources will be identified in blue
text. A key resource indicates that the entry is one of the most useful resources for finding
the information outlined.

Reference Books
For general information on Shakespeare, general encyclopedias are
a good place to start. The following general encyclopedias provide
information about the life and times of Shakespeare, his career as a

Britannica. (Vol. 27, pp. 253-272). Chicago, IL: Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc.

concepts listed in the margins to help locate information. There is also information on selected film productions. The
bibliography at the end provides strong additional resources.

Reference Books
Shakespeare is lucky to have a number of subject encyclopedias
dedicated solely to him. These subject encyclopedias are most useful
with specific jargon and terminology. Once the researcher has

subject encyclopedias will help with detailed information.

Academic Journals
Academic Journals provide some biographical information on
Shakespeare; however, these articles are not nearly as
comprehensive as the information found in books and often focus
on one aspect of his life or writings.
The article listed below provides some information on Shakespeare’s
life, but is in no way complete and offers only a glimpse into part of
Shakespeare’s life.
Snyder, M. G. (2005). ‘All the world’s a stage’. Calliope, 15(8), 3-7. Retrieved on
November 20, 2010, from InfoTrac Student Edition.
This article begins when Shakespeare moves to London and briefly outlines his career until his death in 1616.

Academic Journals
Each of the articles listed below aims to answer the questions
surrounding authorship.
Gross, J. J. (2010). Denying Shakespeare: The 150-year history of conspiracy theorists and their effects

Retrieved on November 17, 2010, from InfoTrac Student Edition.
The history of the question of authorship is outlined. This article aims to authenticate Shakespeare’s authorship and
claims any evidence to the contrary is a delusion.

the claims of authorship. Shakespeare Studies, 36, 37-48. Retrieved on November 17,
2010, from InfoTrac Student Edition.
This article addresses the claims of theorist Lukas Erne. Although Kastan sees the validity of recognizing the facts on
which the theory is based, he is cautious to accept Erne’s conclusions.

the missing Hamlet. American Literary History, 19(2), 329-349. Retrieved on
November 17, 2010 from ProjectMuse.
Glazener nicely summarizes Delia Bacon’s theory on authorship. Although the play Hamlet is the one focused on in this
article, it complements the information nicely and gives the researcher a clear understanding of Bacon’s claim.

Best Cinematography and Best Costume
Design, the film was also nominated for Best
Director and Best Picture. Unlike previous
film versions, Zefirelli cast unknown teenagers
for the roles of Romeo and Juliet, more similar
in age to Shakespeare’s characters. Despite
much of Shakespeare’s dialogue being cut,
this is continues to be considered one of the
best productions of Shakespeare’s Romeo and
Juliet.
23
Motion Pictures

& Bilcock, J. (Producers), & Luhrmann,
B. (Director). (1996). Romeo + Juliet.
[Motion Picture]. United States: 20th
Century Fox.
A modernized version of Romeo and Juliet, Buhrman sets
the scene in New York City and uses guns rather than the
swords more fitting to the original time period. Despite
this modernization, Shakespeare’s original text is used.
Some students are immediately turned off by the older
cinematic versions, thinking they need a more recent
movie to enjoy and relate. Although this may not be the
best film, it certainly gets students interested and
listening to Shakespeare’s language.
