Talk:Der Widerspänstigen Zähmung

Title spelling
The current German spelling for the title of this work is Der Widersp e nstigen Zähmung; see Hermann Goetz, de:Hermann Goetz, and many others. The spelling with "ä" may well have been current in the 19th century, or it may have been idiosyncratic. Anyway, the article lead should point that out and there should be a REDIRECT. Alternatively, the article should be moved to the spelling under which the work is now widely known. Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:09, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Grove (1992) have the umlaut but Oxford (1992) have an 'e'. Anyway a redirect would be a good idea. -- Klein zach  13:14, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Viking has the umlaut. Bizarrely, Oxford Illustrated History has an umlaut in the index but an "e" in the body of the text. I think redirecting the modern spelling here would be better. --Folantin (talk) 13:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
