Othello

A new type of study guide which combines an exploration of Shakespeare's language with specific help for students looking to develop their own critical responses and skills. Laurie Maguire offers a lively critical account of Othello and practical ideas on how best to engage with and write about this ever popular play. He examines the use and misuse of language, the play's textual and performance histories and how critics and directors have responded to the language of sexual jealousy.
