Othello (McGowan Study Texts)

This classic Shakespearean tale involves Othello, a Moorish general employed in the Venetian army; Desdemona, his beloved wife; Cassio, his loyal lieutenant; and Iago, his trusted but unfaithful ensign. Here, themes of love, jealousy, revenge, repentance and racism mean Othello has enormous relevance to the contemporary world, and helps explain its enduring popularity. Although suitable for every reader, this larger print edition of Shakespeare’s timeless classic is particularly well-suited to school and university students and their teachers. Here, the larger font size will make studying a more comfortable experience. Even more helpfully, wider margins provide extra space to add explanatory notes, translations of unfamiliar words and points for further thought.
