This is long enough, new enough, well cited, and ready to go, subject to approval of the hook. My only quibble is that neither of the citations, and both are online, appears to say that Kolár was the first to translate The Taming of the Shrew. (Indeed, Hladky doesn't even say he translated it into Czech!) Am I missing something? If this can't be fathomed, we may need to tweak the hook. Moonraker (talk) 22:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
