Taming of the Shrew

Renowned as Shakespeare's most boisterous comedy,The Taming of the Shrewis the tale of two young men -- the hopeful Lucentio and the worldly Petruchio -- and the two sisters they meet in Padua. Lucentio falls in love with Bianca, the apparently ideal younger daughter of the wealthy Baptista Minola. But before they can marry, Bianca's formidable elder sister, Katherine, must be wed. Petruchio, interested only in the huge dowry, arranges to marry Katherine -- against her will -- and enters into a battle of the sexes that has endured as one of Shakespeare's most enjoyable works.Shakespeare, William is the author of 'Taming of the Shrew', published 2002 under ISBN 9780743452977 and ISBN 0743452976.
