Sumarise of Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet in 1595. This love story is the oldest version that we know but there are more versions before that. For example: Les Efesíaques wrote for Xenofont, or Cinquante Novelle wrote for Masuccio Salernitano, or Historia novellamente ritrovata di dui nobili amanti wrote for Luigi da Porto, or Novelle wrote for Matteo Bandello or Troilus and Criseyde wrote for Arthur Brooke. The changes that Shakespeare introduced, are very significant.
Romeo and Juliet has more than 3000 verses.
