An intense drama of love, deception, jealousy and destruction, Othello is arguably Shakespeare's most topical and accessible tragedy. In this tale of suspicion and betrayal, Desdemona's love for her husband Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice. But his trusted ensign, the envious Iago, conspires to devastate their lives. The play raises uncomfortable and pertinent questions about both racial identity and sexuality, as Othello and Desdemona's relationship becomes the voyeuristic site of Iago's attempt to destroy them. This edition is illustrated throughout by Sir John Gilbert, and includes an introduction by Ned Halley.Language:EnglishPublisher:MacMillan Collector's LibraryISBN-13:9781909621916ISBN-10:1909621919UPC:9781909621916Book Category:DramaBook Subcategory:Shakespeare, EuropeanBook Topic:English, Irish, Scottish, WelshSize:6.00 x 3.80 x 0.50 inchesWeight:0.2998Product ID:SCYKWV3V1E
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, in 1564. The date of his birth is not known but is traditionally 23 April, St George's Day. Aged 18, he married a Stratford farmer's daughter, Anne Hathaway. They had three children. Around 1585 William joined an acting troupe on tour in Stratford from London, and thereafter spent much of his life in the capital. A member of the leading theatre group in London, the Chamberlain's Men, which built the Globe Theatre and frequently performed in front of Queen Elizabeth I, Shakespeare wrote 36 plays and much poetry besides. He died in 1616.
