Brian Morris was Professor of English Literature at Sheffield University and a general editor of both the Arden Shakespeare & the New Mermaid Dramatists series.His other publications include editions of the plays of John Ford & the poems of John Cleveland.Morris’s introduction begins with a discussion of the text as it first appeared in the First Folio of 1623.In the next section, he analyzes the problematic relationship betweenThe Taming of the ShrewandThe Taming of a Shrew, a different play which first appeared in text 29 years before the First Folio, & whose virtually identical name has caused much confusion.Morris then considers the date, sources, & authorship of the play, addressing the question of whether Shakespeare himself wrote it.In the last and most substantial part of the introduction, the editor examines the play’s structures, themes (such as education, love, and marriage), & afterlife.Three appendices follow the text of the play: evidence to establish the relationship ofThe Shrew&A Shrew, from Samuel Hickson; the Sly scenes in A Shrew; & a source (from Gascoigne’s Supposes) & analogues.The Arden Shakespeare has developed a reputation as the pre-eminent critical edition of Shakespeare for its exceptional scholarship, reflected in the thoroughness of each volume.An introduction comprehensively contextualizes the play, chronicling the history & culture that surrounded & influenced Shakespeare at the time of its writing & performance, & closely surveying critical approaches to the work.Detailed appendices address problems like dating and casting, & analyze the differing Quarto & Folio sources. A full commentary by one or more of the play’s foremost contemporary scholars illuminates the text, glossing unfamiliar terms & drawing from an abundance of research & expertise to explain allusions and significant background information. Highly informative a
