Marvin Rosenberg's classic study delves into the interpretations of Othello's complex characters by actors and critics throughout history. By examining stage adaptations aimed at shortening the play or aligning it with contemporary morals, he offers insights into the evolving social and cultural contexts that shaped these interpretations. The book highlights the play's sensual language and imagery, which have sparked varying responses across centuries, from the Restoration to the Victorian era and into modern times, preserving its essential form despite attempts at refinement.
