Books by William Shakespeare

The Taming of the Shrew (1592) is a comedy by William Shakespeare. Written between 1590 and 1592, The Taming of the Shrew is one of Shakespeare's earliest works. Frequently critiqued by scholars for its demeaning portrayal of Katherina and for Petruchio's violence, the play has also been considered as an ironic treatment of the inequality experienced by women in marriage. The Taming of the Shrew has served as source material for countless film and television adaptations, including McClintock! (1963) starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. "If I be waspish, best beware my sting." For his wit and wordplay alone, William Shakespeare is often considered the greatest writer to ever work in the English language. Where he truly triumphs, however, is in his ability to portray complex human emotions, how these emotions contribute to relationships, and how these relationships interact with politics, culture, and religion. The Taming of the Shrew, like many of Shakespeare's works, begins with a framing device. Christopher Sly, a notorious drunk, has come to believe that he is a lord. In order to distract him, his fellow denizens of the alehouse stage a play set in Padua. As suitors line up to marry the beautiful young Bianca, they find themselves prevented by her father's only rule: her older sister Katherina must be married first. Notoriously independent, Katherina-the shrew of the title-simply refuses to tie herself to a man. When Petruchio arrives from Verona in search of a wife, he finds himself up for the challenge.

Dintshontsho tsa bo-Juliuse Kesara is a translation into Setswana of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, by the renowned South African thinker, writer and linguist Sol T. Plaatje, who was also a gifted stage actor. Plaatje first encountered the works of Shakespeare when he saw a performance of Hamlet as a young man; it ignited a great love in him for the works of the Elizabethan dramatist. Many years later he translated several of Shakespeare's plays into Setswana in a series called Mabolelo a ga Tsikinya-Chaka ('The Sayings of Shakespeare'.) Dintshontsho tsa bo-Juliuse Kesara went to print five years after Plaatje's death, in 1937, published in the Bantu (later, African) Treasury Series by the University of the Witwatersrand Press. His translations of Shakespeare's plays into Setswana helped to pioneer and popularise a genre, the drama script, that was previously not well known in Southern Africa. It also showcased the rich range of Setswana vocabulary and served Plaatje's aim of developing the language.>Go fetolela diterama tsa ga Shakespeare mo Setswaneng go thusitse go godisa le go naya serodumo mokwalo wa boitlhamedi wa diterama o o neng o sa tlwaelega thata mo malobeng. Go bontshitse gape khumo le nonofo ya tlotlofoko ya Setswana mme ga thusa Plaatje go tlhabolola puo ya gaabo jaaka e ne e le maikaelelo a gagwe.
