Description
William Shakespeare's Othello is a tragedy that continues to resonate with its emphasis on race, revenge, and lost love. This edition, illustrated by Chris Ofili, brings new depth to the play through twelve etchings that visualize key scenes in Othello's forehead. The artist's images add feeling to Shakespeare's words, forming a hybrid object that is both book and visual retelling of the tragedy. Othello is presented as a complex world where injustices still plague us today, forcing us to confront the ultimate doom of its protagonist. A foreword by critic Fred Moten adds context to this groundbreaking edition, which puts Othello's blackness and interiority front and center. This edition is the first in the Seeing Shakespeare Series, featuring an innovative blend of art and literature that reimagines a timeless tragedy for a new audience.
