Synopsis

Explores the origins and authorship of The Taming of the Shrew with careful scholarly rigor. This edition surveys direct and shared sources, situating Shakespeare’s play within a web of related works and later criticism.

In clear, accessible prose, the work traces connections between The Taming of the Shrew (TTS), The Taming of a Shrew (TAS), and The Supposes, detailing how other writers and earlier texts may have influenced Shakespeare. It discusses competing theories of authorship, surveys metrical and stylistic evidence, and cites contemporary and later scholars who shaped the debate. The study also highlights editions and parallel texts that illuminate the play’s development and transmission.

The reader gains:

• A roadmap of direct sources and possible common origins for TAS and TTS


• Discussion of key critics and their conclusions about authorship


• Context for how different editions and manuscripts affect our understanding


• Reference to related works and the broader history of Shakespearean scholarship

Ideal for readers of Shakespeare studies and literary history who want a focused, evidence-driven overview of how The Taming of the Shrew fits into a larger dramatic tradition.
