"The Taming of a Shrew, 1594 by William Shakespeare

The anonymous comedy, The Taming of a Shrew, was printed by Peter Short in 1594, and is presumed to have been performed before that date. In his Introduction, Stephen Miller analyses the printing of the quarto and relates it to previous studies of Shakespeare quartos also printed by Short. He gives an account of the controversy surrounding the relation of A Shrew to the text of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, first printed in the First Folio of 1623, and supplies a table of scene-by-scene correspondences between the two texts. He lists known verbal borrowings in A Shrew from the plays of Marlowe and other sources and outlines his theory of the character and origins of the text. Through-line-numbers for the quarto text have been established for the first time in this edition.
