Annotated Bibliography- MLA

Artese, Charlotte. "“Tell Thou the Tale”: Shakespeare's Taming of Folktales in The Taming of

the Shrew." Folklore 120.3 (2009): 317-326. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web.

7 Mar. 2010.

Artese discusses the two folktales Shakespeare borrowed from in writing The Taming of the Shrew. By comparing the folktales with the play, Artese presents a fresh insight into the play which will aid me in determining which cultural aspects are relevant to his time.

Baumlin, Tita French. "Petruchio the Sophist and Language as Creation in The Taming of the

Shrew." Studies in English Literature (Rice) 29.2 (1989): 237. Academic Search Premier.

EBSCO. Web. 7 Mar. 2010.

Baumlin discusses the use of language by Petruchio in presenting a reality of marital harmony between Katherine and him. By arguing that Katherine’s world is dysfunctional, and Petruchio offers a more fulfilling life, his thesis relates to mine in the respect Katherine is unhappy in her current state and does not know true happiness until she allows herself to exist in Petruchio’s world.

Langis, Unhae. "Marriage, the Violent Traverse from Two to One in The Taming of the Shrew

and Othello." Journal of the Wooden O Symposium 8.(2008): 45-63. Academic Search

Premier. EBSCO. Web. 7 Mar. 2010.

Langis compares two of Shakespeare’s plays and discusses how one failed tragically while the other promised a lasting marital union. By presenting a foil by which to compare The Taming of the Shrew, I can present a perspective of what Shakespeare considered a dutiful wife and how such a wife can ruin her husband or bring him much joy as is her place.

Ramsey-Kurz, Helga. "Rising above the Bait: Kate's Transformation from Bear to Falcon."

English Studies 88.3 (2007): 262-281. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web.

7 Mar. 2010.

Ramsey-Kurz’s article discusses Katherine’s transformation from a wild, rampaging bear to that of a tamed falcon using the analogies to suggest her behavior more animalistic than human and slowly becoming more civilized as she is trained. Her comparison of Katherine to animals, one wild and the other tamed, supports my thesis of her character being depicted as uncivilized and through training can become a content, respectable member of society.

Shakespeare, William. The Taming of the Shrew. New York: Dover Publications. 1997. Print.

The primary source for my paper from which specific examples will be included to support my thesis.
