Love and marriage are the concerns of Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew. Lucentios marriage to Bianca is prompted by his idealized love of an apparently ideal woman. Petruchios wooing of Katherine, however, is free of idealism. Petruchio takes money from Biancas suitors to woo her, since Katherine must marry before her sister by her fathers decree; he also arranges the dowry with her father. Petruchio is then ready to marry Katherine, even against her will.Katherine, the shrew of the plays title, certainly acts much changed. But have she and Petruchio learned to love each other? Or is the marriage based on terror and deception?The authoritative edition of The Taming of the Shrew from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers, includes:Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the playNewly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the playScenebyscene plot summariesA key to the plays famous lines and phrasesAn introduction to reading Shakespeares languageAn essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the playFresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Librarys vast holdings of rare booksAn uptodate annotated guide to further readingEssay by Karen NewmanThe Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the worlds largest collection of Shakespeares printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe.
