From the Back Cover
One of the most staged of all of Shakespeare′s plays, Othello is a tale of love and betrayal, secrets, passions, and intrigue. Psychology and wit pit strength and virtue against jealousy and evil agendas. The results leave no winners, only tragedy in the lives of the jealous Moor, Othello, and his wife, Desdemona.
The CliffsComplete Othello is a revised and expanded study edition. It contains Shakespeare′s original play, a glossary, and expert commentary in a unique, 2–column format. To enhance your learning, notes and definitions appear directly opposite the line in which they occur, and a review section follows the play. This edition also introduces you to the life, works, and times of William Shakespeare.

Format:Paperback
One of Shakespeare's most intense tragedies of love, lust, betrayal, and racism is given a fine treatment by these notes. It covers all the major talking points with clarity and a readable, friendly tone is used throughout. My one criticism is the issue of time in the play(some critics argue that the play is only a day long) and this potentially enlightning argument is never really pursued. But if you are doing this for AS or just interested it is worth investing in.

CliffsComplete Othello
19 July 2004
Format:Paperback
Save your money. This study edition of Shakespeare's Othello is attractively laid out, with footnotes in the margins and helpful-looking commentary, but closer inspection reveals sloppy writing with many typos, misplaced modifiers, and (most importantly) serious misinterpretations of the play. Author Kate Maurer clearly needed a good editor, and did not get one. I wanted to throw my copy across the room!
Shakespeare deserves better and so do you. Skip this shoddy piece of work and find a better study edition for your Othello studies.
Great teaching edition
17 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
The Cliffs Complete series work wonderfully for in-class reading and discussion. The commentary is accessible and academic, while the in-text notes are informative and helpful. There's more than enough room for annotation around the text, too, which can aid students needing to analyze outside of the given commentary.
