  • The Taming of the Shrew and Its Afterlives 1 Leaders: Coppélia Kahn, Brown University; Linda Woodbridge, Pennsylvania State University
    2018 Seminar: The Taming of the Shrew and Its Afterlives 1 Leaders: Coppélia Kahn, Brown University; Linda Woodbridge, Pennsylvania State University Patricia Akhimie, Rutgers University, Newark, Travel for Marriage: The Newlywed’s Journey in The Taming of the Shrew This paper explores the role that travel plays in the making of marriages and the taming of shrews. The Taming of the Shrew draws upon a narrative tradition that accompanies a cultural commonplace: the episode in which a daughter leaves her father’s home and journeys to her husband’s home. Examining the legal, literary, and folkloric significance of travel for marriage in early modern England, this paper asks how Katherina’s travel reflects and disrupts ideas about the transformation (through transportation) of daughters into wives. David Bevington, University of Chicago Sometimes Crossing a Line The Taming of the Shrew in Chicago and London Adaptations of The Taming of the Shrew, often helpful, can do the play a disservice when the point of a given production seems to be that of discrediting Shakespeare's original as irredeemably flawed. This essay looks at recent productions in Chicago and Stratford that suggest a failure of critical responsibility. Clara Calvo, Universidad de Murcia Taming the Shrew Around Wartime: From Europe to New York This paper looks into the reception of productions of The Taming of the Shrew in the last years of the Edwardian period and the first years of the First World War to suggest that the inclusion of the induction and the choice of ‘original practices’ for the mise-en-scène minimised the play’s problematic notions of gender.

It focuses on Katherine, a “shrew” who needs to get married so that her younger sister, Bianca, can get married. While she comes from a wealthy family, Katherine is not the typical wife men seek; her sister Bianca has many suitors, and they convince another man, Petruchio, to marry Katherine. After they marry, Katherine gives a long, uncharacteristic retraction speech honoring her husband and preaching why women should be submissive.

  • The Taming of the Shrew
    Shakespeare The Taming of the Shrew SYNOPSIS The Taming of the Shrew Christopher Sly, a poor tinker, falls asleep after being thrown out of an ale‐house because he is drunk. A lord takes him into his house and plays a trick on him by making him think he is a lord who has lost his memory for whom a company of players will perform the play 'The Taming of the Shrew'. This 'induction' is the frame story. In the play itself Hortensio, who wants to marry a rich woman, old Gremio, who wants to use his money to find a young wife, and Lucentio, who has just arrived in Padua, all want to marry beautiful Bianca, but her father Baptista insists that her older sister Kate must marry first. Kate is a 'shrew', a woman with her own ideas and a violent temper. Petruchio, from Verona, agrees to woo Kate, both for her dowry and for the challenge of 'taming' her. Hortensio and Lucentio both manage to spend time with Bianca by pretending to be tutors, while Lucentio's servant Tranio plays the role of his master. Petruchio marries Kate, but he arrives at the church wearing totally unsuitable clothes and takes her to his country house, where he uses various forms of deprivation to break her will, for instance pretending that any dishes or clothes she is brought are not good enough and must be sent away, or making her agree with everything he says, otherwise she will not be able to sleep or visit her family. Tranio persuades a travelling schoolteacher to pretend to be Lucentio's father, because Baptista wants to be sure that his potential son‐in‐law is respectable and rich enough.

Preface In high school I turned out to possess a natural talent for languages and therefore I decided to attend the University of Utrecht in 2010 to study the English language and culture. During my studies I quickly discovered I was mostly interested in English literature. Within a large-scale variety of literature that was offered at this university, William Shakespeare has been one of the greatest writers of all time. There has been much speculation about his identity and the authenticity of his works. It seems hard to believe that one single man could be the author of so many extraordinary plays and poems. During the course “Academic Reading” I fell in love with the rich and ornate use of language in Shakespeare’s work. In my second year, throughout the courses “Shakespeare’s World” and “Appropriating Shakespeare” I have discovered the immense range of his influence on the world.

I love and miss you. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As I write these acknowledgements, I am reminded of something singer/actress Vanessa Williams wrote in the liner notes to her album The Sweetest Days: “I would like to be witty and clever…But I am way too tired.” That said, what the following sentiments lack in poetry, they more than make up for in sincere gratitude and reverence. I was blessed to have a most wonderful and supportive committee made up of a group of erudite and invaluable scholars that have nurtured and looked after me throughout my undergraduate and graduate years.
