The "sensitivity notes," which flag areas in the text that can be triggering or traumatizing for certain readers, is certainly a modern touch that does not distract from the experience of engaging with Shakespeare in any way, but that may be appreciated by sensitive readers. Like all bibliography, it will become dated over time but could be updated as new scholarship emerges. I think concerns about misogyny, racism, ableism and classism are here to stay, and that the resources this edition offers students and teachers who are interested in these topics will remain relevant. My experience reading this text was no different than reading editions published by other major publishers of Shakespeare editions. The text of Romeo and Juliet is accurate. This edition also includes resources for teachers, like bibliography, and detailed lesson plans for each act of the play. This is a comprehensive edition of Romeo and Juliet, which distinguishes itself from other open access online editions by including editorial notes.
