Othello | Wordsworth Collector's Edition

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.

This compact hardback has coloured end papers, embossed gold and coloured blocking.
