This 2001 book presents the first modernized and edited version of
the 1622 Othello. By taking this earliest published version of
Othello as a book in its own right, Scott McMillin accounts for the
mystery of its thousands of differences from the Folio version by
arguing that the Quarto was printed from a theatre script
reflecting cuts and actors' interpolations made in the playhouse.
McMillin explains that the playhouse script was apparently taken
from dictation by a scribe listening to the actors themselves, and
thus reveals how Othello was spoken in seventeenth-century
performance. This edition, which consists of a detailed
introduction, quarto text, select collation and textual notes, is
an important book for scholars in Shakespeare and
Elizabethan-Jacobean drama, with wide ramifications for other
Shakespeare textual studies and for students of early theatre
history.
