- catalog abstract ""This is a modernised edition of an anonymous play, long known to scholars, which appears to be an alternative version of Shakespeare's popular comedy, The Taming of the Shrew. Stephen Miller suggests somebody rewrote Shakespeare's more complicated version, making it shorter, simpler and different in some ways." "The main story about taming Kate, the shrew, is very similar. The main difference between the two plays is that A Shrew offers an alternative version of the Bianca subplot with a simpler tale of a prince in love with Kate's sister. The difference best known to playgoers concerns the framing story of Christopher Sly, who disappears early on in Shakespeare's version. A Shrew contains additional material for Sly, the drunk, who continues watching the play, jumps in at one point to take part and wakes at the end, thinking he has dreamed the whole thing. This extra material is often included in productions of Shakespeare's play." "The new edition of the 1594 quarto of The Taming of a Shrew provides a modernised text based upon a thorough re-examination of the quarto and scholarly debate over its relationship to Shakespeare's play. It includes a far more extensive commentary than any previously offered."--BOOK JACKET.".
