Part of: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (The Oxford Shakespeare) The Taming of the Shrew

The Taming of the Shrew and its story of an overbearing husband taming a shrewish wife may not have aged particularly well, but critics have long debated how seriously it is meant to be taken, and whether or not Kate may be in on the joke of her taming. This edition comes from the 1916 Oxford University Press edition of all of Shakespeare’s plays and poems.
