Taming of the Shrew
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a must for Shakespeare buffs or even those who want to read more Shakespeare. The glossary on the left-hand page of the dialogue is extremely helpful.
Helpful for studying

I am a college student and this really helped me study for my class. It goes by the book, doesn't skip anything major, and really helps you sort out/define characters.
A hilarious play of the battle between the sexes.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This play is one of Shakespeare's most ribald, but I enjoyed it just the same. It's lusty, earthy and somewhat farcical. It's a very popular play because it is funny and fast-moving. And Shakespeare's wordplay is at its best here. I defy anyone not to laugh out loud numerously as they read this play. It is wonderful!
Great value!

I found this guide very useful and different from other guides in that each page of text has a useful explanation with it. Other guides always have an explanation or summery at the end. I found this was very easy to use and follow and would definitely recommend it to students.
Oxford World's Classics is the best choice for Shakespeare
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
There are many reviews of the play below,, so I am reviewing this particular edition of tthe play. As someone reading all of Shakespeare for the second time, I am always alble to learn something from the World's Classics introduction. They are scolarly and complete and the text always has footnotes on the same page. I have tried other editions but these are the best. The Taming of the Shrew although it does contain episodes that are misogynistic to modern ears does portray a couple truly in love. As an early play Shakespeare is beginning to find his own voice.
