This edition of "Othello" sheds light on the text of the play as we have come to know it, and on our knowledge of its early history. Professor Honigmann examines major critical issues, the play in performance and the relationship between reading it and seeing it. He also explores topics such as its date, sources and the conundrum of "double time".
