The Taming of the Shrew has puzzled, entertained and angered audiences, and it has been reinvented many times throughout its controversial history.

Each chapter has been carefully selected for its originality and relevance to the needs of students, teachers and researchers.
Key themes and issues include:- History and Early Modern Contexts
- Performance and Politics
- Adaptation and Afterlife All the essays offer new perspectives and combine to give readers an up-to-date understanding of what's exciting and challenging about The Taming of the Shrew.
