One of Shakespeare''s most popular yet controversial plays,
this edition of The Taming of the Shrew considers its reception in
the light of the hostility and embarrassment it often arouses,
taking account of both scholarly defences and modern feminist
criticism of the play. For this updated edition Ann Thompson has
added new sections to the Introduction which describe the ''deeply
problematic'' nature of debates about the play and its reception
since the 1980s. She discusses recent editions and textual,
performance and critical studies.
? Updated edition of a text which has been highly popular in the
series since 1984 ? Substantial additional section to the
Introduction ? Two new production photographs and a revised Reading
