Othello-William Shakespeare

The Wordsworth Classics’ Shakespeare Series, with Henry V

and The Merchant of Venice as its inaugral volumes, presents

a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare’s works. The

textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while

giving the material a careful reappraisal.

Othello has long been recognised as one of the most powerful

of Shakespeare’s tragedies. This is an intense drama of love,

deception, jealousy and destruction. Desdemona’s love for

Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice; but the envious

Iago conspires to devastate their lives. In its vivid rendering of

racism, sexism, contested identities, and the savagery lurking

within civilisation, Othello is arguably the most topical and

accessible tragedy from Shakespeare’s major phase as a

dramatist. Productions on stage and screen regularly renew its

power to engross, impress and trouble the imagination.
