The publisher calls this an "irresistible collection."

From Folger Shakespeare Library: "Love and marriage are the concerns of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Lucentio’s marriage to Bianca is prompted by his idealized love of an apparently ideal woman. Petruchio’s wooing of Katherine, however, is free of idealism. Petruchio takes money from Bianca’s suitors to woo her, since Katherine must marry before her sister by her father’s decree; he also arranges the dowry with her father. Petruchio is then ready to marry Katherine, even against her will."

Will says: Thank you to that one English teacher who let me come in during his free period and admit that I was completely lost. This family drama had too much palace intrigue and madness for me to follow. I still remember the line my teacher explained that made it all click for me—it being Hamlet, Shakespeare, and the idea that books might be saying more than what's right there on the page: "I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw."
