Can someone give me the exact date of when Romeo and Juliet was written i really need it asap thnk u!?

Answer 1

This is all I can find. I don't know if there was an exact date since it was written so long ago. . .


Romeo & Juliet was written during a period when Shakespeare had found the strength of his writing. He would have been about 26 years old when he wrote it. It stands as a great play in its own right.

Romeo & Juliet is believed to have been written around 1595.

Answer 2

The first printed edition appeared in 1597, a "bad quarto" printed by John Danter. The superior Q2 followed in 1599, published by Cuthbert Burby and printed by Thomas Creede; Q2 contains 800 lines missing from Q1. (Q2 also has an interestingly defective stage direction: it reads "Enter Will Kempe" instead of "Enter Peter" in IV,v,102.) Q3, a reprint of Q2, followed in 1609; there was also an undated Q4. The play next appeared in print in the First Folio in 1623.

A common misconception is that the plot of Romeo and Juliet was invented by Shakespeare. In fact, his play is a dramatisation of Arthur Brooke's narrative poem The Tragicall History of Romeus and Juliet (1562). Shakespeare followed Brooke's poem fairly closely but enriched its texture by adding extra detail to both major and minor characters, in particular the Nurse and Mercutio.
