Shakespeare wrote the comedy The Taming of the Shrew in 1593. The story takes place in Italy. Catherine, a bad-tempered girl living in Padua, had no suitable husband for a long time. A gentleman from Verona, Petruchio, was attracted to the wealth of Catherine's family and came to court her and married her. Catherine then faces many difficulties, but the hard life makes her very tame. This series of books is in English with annotations.
