| Summary |
Professor Jerry Brotton looks at the history of 'race' as a concept and considers the ways in which Othello is variously identified as Othello the Moor, convert, pagan, and, finally, murderous Turk. Brotton considers the play within the context of Elizabethan England and its relations with the Islamic world, while also positioning it as a story for our time, as he explores the complex and intertwined nature of Othello's race and religion. |
