Zusatztext The new Oxford Othello is quite simply a major achievement, a volume alive with exemplary editorial and critical thought. It sets a landmark in Shakespeare studies and fully deserves to become the preferred edition for many years to come. Informationen zum Autor Michael Neill is Professor of English at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He has previously edited Anthony and Cleopatra for the Oxford Shakespeare. Klappentext This is the first scholarly edition of Othello to give full attention to the work's bold treatment of racial themes. Shakespeare's decision to place a sympathetic black hero at the centre of his tragedy was unique in its time; but, as the lively introduction shows, the play's relationship to the history of racial thinking remains controversial. Designed to meet the needs of theatre professionals, as well as general readers, the edition includes an extensiveperformance history, a commentary illuminating the complexities of Shakespeare's language, and an indispensable appendix on the music in the play. Zusammenfassung Emphasises "Othello's" bold treatment of racial themes. Suitable for theatre professionals as well as general readers, this work includes a performance history, a commentary illuminating the complexities of Shakespeare's language, and an appendix on the music in the play.
