Othello de William Shakespeare

Othello

Autor William Shakespeare Editat de Nick Newlin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 noi 2010

Observăm că această ediție a tragediei Othello, publicată de Dover Publications Inc. în seria Dover Thrift Editions, transformă textul clasic într-un instrument de lucru esențial prin ancorarea directă a teoriei literare în contextul istoric al epocii. Aplicabilitatea practică a volumului rezidă în capacitatea sa de a explica nu doar intriga, ci și mecanismele sociale ale Angliei elisabetane care au influențat scriitura lui William Shakespeare. Structura cărții este riguros organizată: după o introducere biografică și o analiză a teatrului shakespearian, textul piesei este susținut de două anexe fundamentale (Appendix A și B) care explorează sursele literare primare, precum Cinthio, și documente rare, cum sunt scrisorile Reginei Elisabeta I privind deportările. Subliniem că acest aparat critic oferă o progresie logică de la narațiunea propriu-zisă la înțelegerea profundă a temelor de rasism și politică externă. Reținem că această versiune reprezintă o alternativă viabilă la The Oxford Shakespeare: Othello pentru cursurile de literatură universală, cu avantajul unui format compact și al unei selecții de documente de arhivă care facilitează cercetarea interdisciplinară. În contextul operei autorului, Othello se situează în perioada marilor tragedii, fiind o piesă mult mai concentrată pe psihologia domestică și pe distrugerea intimității față de natura politică a lucrării Henry IV Parts 1 & 2 sau elementele fantastice din The Tempest.

Despre autor

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), supranumit „Bardul din Avon”, este considerat cel mai important dramaturg al lumii. Cariera sa în Londra, ca actor și proprietar al companiei „King’s Men”, a coincis cu o perioadă de efervescență culturală fără precedent. Deși a început cu comedii și drame istorice, maturitatea sa artistică este definită de marile tragedii scrise între 1590 și 1613. Opera sa, care include 38 de piese și 154 de sonete, a fost publicată postum în ediția „First Folio” (1623). Shakespeare rămâne un punct de referință universal, textele sale fiind adaptate constant în cinematografie și operă.

Descriere scurtă

Othello: The 30-Minute Shakespeare is a gripping seven-scene interpretation of this Shakespearean masterpiece.
There is a dramatic build as each successive event draws Othello closer to jealous rage. Iago convinces Othello that Desdemona has been unfaithful to him with Cassio. He plants Desdemona’s handkerchief in Cassio’s chamber, orchestrating Othello’s undoing.
The plot concludes with Othello outrageously smothering Desdemona, discovering the truth of his deception, and dying by his own hand. This is tragedy at its finest, and performable in just a half hour.
The edition includes helpful advice by Nick Newlin on how to put on a Shakespeare production in a high school class with novice actors, as well as tips for performing the specific play and recommendations for further resources.

Notă biografică

William Shakespeare 26 April 1564 ¿ 23 April 1616was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist.He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 39 plays,154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.[ Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. . Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. Until about 1608, he wrote mainly tragedies, among them Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Shakespeare's works have been continually adapted and rediscovered by new movements in scholarship and performance. His plays remain popular and are studied, performed, and reinterpreted through various cultural and political contexts around the world.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

One of the greatest of Shakespeare's tragedies, Othello tells the story of a Moorish general in command of the armed forces of Venice who earns the enmity of his ensign Iago by passing him over for a promotion. Partly for revenge and partly out of pure evil, Iago plots to convince Othello that Desdemona, his wife, has been unfaithful to him.
Iago succeeds in his evil aims only too well, for the enraged Othello murders Desdemona. When Othello later learns of her innocence, he takes his own life. Bleak and unsparing, this play offers a stunning portrait of an arch-villain and an astute psychological study of the nature of evil.

Recenzii

Although other Shakespeare plays offer higher body counts, more gore, and more plentiful scenes of heartbreak, Othello packs an unusually powerful affective punch, stunning us with its depiction of the swiftness and thoroughness with which love can be converted to hatred, and forcing us to confront our complicity with social and political institutions that can put all of us—but especially the most vulnerable among us—at risk.
This edition features a variety of interleaved materials—from maps and manuscripts to illustrations and extended discussions of myth and politics—that provide a context for the social and cultural allusions in the play. Appendices offer excerpts from Shakespeare’s key sources and historical materials on marriage, jealousy, and the treatment of people of African descent in Renaissance England.
A collaboration between Broadview Press and the Internet Shakespeare Editions project at the University of Victoria, the editions developed for this series have been comprehensively annotated and draw on the authoritative texts newly edited for the ISE. This innovative series allows readers to access extensive and reliable online resources linked to the print edition.

“The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice has found here its ideal edition for our times. In addition to Jessica Slight’s unfussy and accessible text, the Broadview/Internet Shakespeare Edition offers an up-to-date selection of images, sources, analogs, and historical readings, many of them not seen before in connection with Othello. Race, ethnicity, sexuality, religion, household governance, and early modern psychology receive broad and deep attention, inviting readers to encounter Shakespeare’s play in strikingly contemporary terms.” — Bruce R. Smith, University of Southern California
