“…Though a supporter of Shakespeare as a reviser, E. A. J. Honigmann rejected the revisionist theory for A Shrew/The Shrew, claiming that 'A Shrew was composed after The Shrew, when the text of The Shrew was not available'. 28 In their editions, Hibbard (1968), Morris (1981), and Oliver (1982) reaffirm Alexander's 'memorial reconstruction' theory. Thompson (1984), even though she admits the Elizabethans' non-discrimination between the two plays, claims that 'A Shrew is of no direct use in establishing an authoritative text for The Shrew'.…”

The essay focuses on the relationship between William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and the anonymous 1594 quarto The Taming of a Shrew, arguing that A Shrew has its own theatrical and narrative autonomy and that it could reflect a Shakespearean original different from that transmitted through the First Folio. It also examines the dramatic intertext of the Induction, possible sources that influenced both The Shrew and A Shrew, and its theatrical intertexts. The intertexts of The Shrew/ A Shrew appear to be a sort of palimpsest of quotations, revisions, and translations, suggesting the possibility of a third, ‘uncut’ version of Shakespeare's play.
