Searching for Juliet takes us from the Renaissance origin stories behind Shakespeare''s child bride to enslaved people in the Caribbean, Italian fascists in Verona, and real-life lovers in Afghanistan.

Drawing on rich cultural and historical sources and new research, Sophie Duncan shows us why Juliet is for now, for ever, for everyone.
