Othello has long been considered (along with Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth) one of Shakespeare's four greatest works of tragedy. Recently, however, Othello has taken on a special interest, partly because it deals so intriguingly with such issues as gender, race and class, issues particularly engaging to so many readers, critics and playgoers. This volume explores Othello from numerous points of view, paying special attention to such matters as history, aesthetics and various important productions, especially on film.
