dc.description.abstractRecent work on The Taming of the Shrew's so-called bad quarto suggests that The Taming of~ Shrew ( 1594) is more than a mere piracy of Shakespeare 's play, and that its intertextual badness is its best virtue. This electronic edition presents A Shrew as a critical response to Shakespeare, and as an incisive parody of Marlowe's plays. The text of A Shrew is offered in three forms: a modernized and fully annotated text; a machineĀ­ readable transcription containing markup for print entities; and a facsimile. All three texts are linked to each other, and to an automated collation of variants between the 1594, 1596, and 1607 quartos of A Shrew. The electronic interface allows users to highlight borrowings from other plays, each of which is accompanied by an ex tended commentary. A critical introduction discusses the play's print and performance histories, its metadramatic complexities, and its relationship with Shakespeare and Marlowe.
