Summary "In one of Shakespeare's bawdier comedies, contemporary audiences still take great pleasure in the rapid-fire verbal comedies between the shrewish Katherina and the canny Petruchio, who is determined to subdue Katherina's legendary temper and win her dowry." "Eminent linguist and translator Burton Raffel offers help with vocabulary, pronunciation, and prosody and provides alternative readings of phrases and lines. His on-page annotations give readers all the tools they need to comprehend the play and begin to explore its many possible interpretations. In his introduction, Raffel disentangles the play from its 1594 derivative in order to disrupt the idea that this play is an attack on women and situate it instead as a farce. In a concluding essay, Harold Bloom finds the play as much a romantic comedy as a farce and points to language that depicts, finally, a perfect marriage between the embattled pair."--BOOK JACKET.
