"A Village Romeo and Juliet" is a bitter-sweet tragedy telling the tale of two young lovers kept apart by a family feud. Inspired by the suicides of two real-life sweethearts and set in rural Switzerland, it evokes the overwhelming beauty of young love and nature, but is ultimately pessimistic about the possibility of such beauty surviving in the real world. Although it attracted controversy when it was first published in 1856, Keller's timeless story has now rightfully entered the canon of world literature and is widely considered as one of the finest examples of nineteenth-century poetic realism.

Romeo e Giulietta nel villaggio e un racconto inserito allinterno della raccolta di novelle La gente di Seldwyla, pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1874. Ambientata in un villaggio di una citta immaginaria svizzera, la novella reinterpreta la tragedia shakespeariana di Romeo e Giulietta narrando la storia di Vrenchen e Sali, due giovani innamorati che, seppur ostacolati dalle rispettive famiglie in lotta tra di loro a causa di antiche faide per il controllo dei territori limitrofi, non rinunciano alla passione irrefrenabile che li lega e, proprio come i due eroi di Shakespeare, si giurano amore eterno andando incontro al loro inevitabile e infausto destino.
