Product Description
This is the first scholarly paperback edition of the play, which was written as a pro-woman reply to Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew". It includes the fullest commentary ever provided for the play. The critical introduction describes the play's Renaissance context, its historical and literary sources, and its subversive relationship to Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" and Ben Jonson's "The Silent Woman". It is co-edited by a feminist critic and a distinguished textual scholar. The play, already revived by the RSC, is set to become a staple on literature courses at A and undergraduate level.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Annotated on every page of the text, this learned edition provides a unique, essential companion to The Taming of the Shrew and surveys its critical history up to the present century. It also provides exciting fresh material for modern debates on comedy, sexual relationships and marriage and should be welcome by Islamic women in Britain. --Patrick Richards, Day by Day
