The Taming of the Shrew

Meer over het boek

Set in Padua, the story revolves around Baptista Minola's demand that his fiery daughter Katherine must marry before her sought-after sister Bianca can find a suitor. Enter Petruchio, who is persuaded to wed Katherine for her dowry and attempts to "tame" her at his Verona estate. This comedic play, penned by William Shakespeare between 1590 and 1592, has faced modern scrutiny for its portrayal of gender dynamics. The edition features premium acid-free paper, a preface by Henry N. Hudson, and an introduction by Charles H. Herford.
