plot is Italian, and is found in the Notte Piacevole of Straparola (1550). But the story is old and widely diffused; it has been traced to a Persian and also to an old German source. The versification of this play is, for the most part, extremely flowing and musical. The cross-tempered passionate Katharina is wooed by the rough self-willed Petruchio, and becomes his wife against her will ; apparently because her father and friends are satisfied with the match, and no one takes her part. He tame...s her high spirit to such a degree that at last, to please him, she is ready to call the moon the sun, and to address an old man as a young maiden. In the seventeenth century this finish of her wifely education was regarded as the height of what was praiseworthy and proper. (23. ) As You Like It. This play was produced about 1600 ; there is no edition earlier than the folio of 1623. The plot is English, taken from Thomas Lodge's novel of Rosalynde, published in 1590. Orlando's indolent love-making, and the movement of the action generally, are slow, yet anything but wearisome.
