DescriptionThis is the first edition for students and general readers of this pro-woman reply to Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew by a playwright (John Fletcher) who was more admired than Shakespeare in the seventeenth century. Co-edited by a feminist critic and a distinguished textual scholar, this new textbook makes clear why The Tamer Tamed should be restored to the theatrical repertoire and the literary canon. It includes the fullest commentary ever provided for the play, explaining for modern students Fletchers verbal exuberance and his uninhibited sexual language. The full critical introduction describes the plays Renaissance context, its historical and literary sources (including Aristophaness Lysistrata), and its subversive relationship to Shakespeares Shrew and Ben Jonsons The Silent Woman. It also surveys the plays subsequent theatrical and critical history. A unique and essential companion to the numerous textbook editions of Shakespeares play, The Tamer Tamed provides exciting new material for current debates about the history of gender, marriage, and drama.About the authorCelia R.
