"The Taming of the Shrew" is unique among Shakespeare's plays and
is a perennial and compelling success in the theatre. Its reception
is marked, however, by ongoing polarized debate over the meaning
and worth of the play. This edition disengages Shakespeare's
exuberant and disturbing marital farce from the tangled history of
its reception. It views the two sixteenth-century Shrew plays as
textually independent but theatrically interdependent and so
includes the full text of "The Taming of A Shrew" in an appendix.
While the Introduction and Commentary focus on the critical and
theatrical debate surrounding the play, the original and
comprehensive editing of the playtext makes available a 'different'
Shrew, more open to the reader's interpretation than is usually the
case. For more than a century educators, students and general
readers have relied on The Arden Shakespeare to provide the very
best scholarship and most authoritative texts available.
The Third Series editions' added emphasis on all aspects of
Shakespeare performance extended the Arden editions readership to
also become the preferred text for theatre professionals.
