Othello: A Translation

By William Shakespeare and Gabrielle Winters

"Othello: A Translation" is a line-by-line translation of Shakespeare's text into modern day English. By combining the original text with a modern-day translation, the reader is facilitated in following the plot and is better able not only to understand the subtle intricacies of the story itself but also to appreciate the play on words and imagery contained within Shakespeare's work. The intention is thus not to 'dumb down' Shakespeare but rather to open up and make his plays more accessible to a wider audience who may otherwise be reluctant to approach them. The book can be used both as an aid to students studying Shakespeare's work and also by people who are simply keen to sample and explore the play. For ease of use, the translation is presented side-by-side with the original text enabling the reader to move between the two.Written in c.1603, Othello tells the story of a 'Moorish' General in service to the Duke of Venice and his fall at the hands of his once-loyal servant, Iago. The tragic tale of the once noble General and his betrayal by a trusted friend is a tale as old as time and one of Shakespeare's greatest yet often neglected works.In the year celebrating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, the stage is set to approach and appreciate this immortal work of one of the greatest writers in history.?1 from the sale of each copy goes to support The Rose Theatre Trust and their work on preserving the remains of The Rose Playhouse.
