About Othello
From the Publisher Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards. Product description From the Back Cover In this study of excellence and the horrific consequences of breaches of trust, Shakespeare has sculpted some of his most memorable characters. The great tragedy hurls itself towards the wreckage of a hero and a marriage, as the seemingly indomitable Othello falls under the pall of a diabolical villain. Containing relics of the miracle play and of Italian myth, Shakespeare's tragedy is most concertedly a portrait of jealousy, deceit and waste. This authoritative edition, one of the most vital editions available, includes facing-page text and notes, a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times, and a rich selection of critical and theatrical responses to each play over the centuries. Everyman's edition also offers a unique foreword discussing performance of the play by James Earl Jones. About the Author John F. Andrews recently completed a 19-volume edition, The Guild Shakespeare, for the Doubleday Book and Music Club. He is also the editor of a three-volume reference set, William Shakespeare: His World, His Work, His Influence, and the former editor of the journal the Shakespeare Quarterly (1974-1985). From 1974 to 1984 he was Director of Academic Programs at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington and the Chairman of the Folger Institute.
