Othello by William Shakespeare (Wordsworth Classics)

Experience one of William Shakespeare’s most powerful tragedies, Othello, presented here in an accessible, newly-edited sequence from Wordsworth Editions. This edition focuses on an intense drama exploring themes of love, deception, jealousy, and destruction. The narrative centers on Desdemona’s love for Othello, the Moor, which confronts racial prejudice, set against the destructive conspiracy of the envious Iago. Recognized for its vivid rendering of racism, sexism, contested identities, and the savagery beneath civilization, Othello remains one of Shakespeare’s most topical and enduring works.
