Description

This revised edition of Othello features a new introduction by leading American scholar Ayanna Thompson, offering a fresh perspective on the play's complex themes and historical context. Thompson's introduction explores the play's different meanings throughout history, examining the historical context in which Othello was created and the ways in which it has been adapted in recent times.

Written in the same five-year period as Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, Othello is one of Shakespeare's great tragedies. This edition provides a rich and current resource, making it an ideal choice for students at advanced school and undergraduate level.

The introduction, combined with the play itself, offers a valuable insight into the life and work of Shakespeare, and the ways in which his works continue to be relevant today.
