A New Othello (1887)

By John Hyndford

Book Overview

A New Othello is a play written by John Hyndford and published in 1887. The play is a reimagining of William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Othello. Hyndford's version of the story follows the same basic plot as the original, but with some changes to the characters and their motivations. In this version, Othello is a black man who has risen to power in a European military force. He is married to Desdemona, a white woman, and their relationship is met with disapproval from some of the other characters. Iago, Othello's trusted advisor, is still the main antagonist of the play and manipulates Othello into believing that Desdemona has been unfaithful. The play explores themes of race, jealousy, and betrayal. It also includes some elements of political intrigue and military strategy. Despite being a reimagining of a classic play, A New Othello stands on its own as a unique and compelling work of drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
