"Othello" is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies, with its tragic portrayal of jealousy and deception, descending into madness and murder remaining as shocking today as when it was first written.

Part of the "Barnes & Noble Shakespeare" series, this features newly edited texts prepared by leading scholars from Great Britain and America, in collaboration with one of the world's foremost Shakespeare authorities, David Scott Kastan of Columbia University.

Together they have produced texts as faithful as possible to those that Shakespeare wrote.
