«Othello» is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (240 pages, in English).
Othello presents the story of Othello, a Moorish general in the service of Venice, and his wife Desdemona. Moved from Venice to Cyprus, the play shows how the ensign Iago, resentful of Othello, plants in him the suspicion of infidelity. Jealousy, manipulation, and differences of origin and age lead to a tragic ending.
Othello dates from 1603. This edition from The New Penguin Shakespeare collection is edited by Kenneth Muir.
A reference work for literature students and for those approaching Shakespeare's classic theatre.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
