Description
William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy that has sparked controversy and debate for centuries. The central relationship between Petruchio and Kate has been treated in diverse ways on stage and screen, with Kate's apparent capitulation varying between the ironic and the sincere. This edition, edited and introduced by Cedric Watts, presents a newly-edited sequence of Shakespeare's works, taking account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The provocative vitality of this comedy has been transmitted by numerous adaptations, including a film directed by Franco Zeffirelli and a Cole Porter musical, Kiss Me, Kate. This edition provides a fresh perspective on a play that continues to fascinate audiences with its complex characters and nuanced themes. With 103 pages of Shakespeare's original text, this edition is a valuable resource for scholars and students, as well as anyone interested in exploring the complexities of this enduring comedy.
