The Taming of the Shrew cover

An international team of scholars offers: • modernised, easily accessible texts • ample but unobtrusive academic guidance • attention to the theatrical qualities of each play and its stage history • informative illustations, including reconstructions of early performances

'Thompson … makes admirable use of the play's stage history to show that its depiction of the women-tamer has always disturbed people … hers remains the introductory essay I would most want my students to read.' English
' … a radically fresh and challenging view of the play.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
