Description for Three Shrew Plays: Shakespeare´s The Taming of the Shrew; with The Anonymous The Taming of a Shrew, and Fletcher´s The Tamer Tamed Paperback. An annotated collection of three early modern English plays that allows readers to explore the relationship between Shakespeare's "Shrew" and two closely related plays of the same genre, the earlier of which, the anonymous "The Taming of a Shrew", once enjoyed a level of popularity that likely surpassed that of Shakespeare's play. Editor(s): Gaines, Barry; Maurer, Margaret. Num Pages: 268 pages. BIC Classification: DD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 141 x 14. Weight in Grams: 318.
