A vivid dramaturgy of love, deceit, jealousy, and destruction, Othello is perhaps Shakespeare's most relevant and accessible tragedy. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series, featuring stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold shiny edges and bookmarks. These beautiful books are perfect gifts or a treat for any bibliophile. This edition is illustrated by Sir John Gilbert and includes an introduction by Ned Halley. In this story of suspicion and betrayal, Desdemona's love for her husband Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudices. However, his trusted officer, the envious Iago, conspires to destroy their lives. The play poses uncomfortable and important questions about racial identity and sexuality, as Othello and Desdemona's relationship becomes the altar of Iago's attempt to destroy them.
