Description: This title is a sensitive rereading of a curiously neglected topic in Shakespeare studies. Benson's investigation makes a series of important arguments about contemporary domestic tragedies and their relation to 'Othello'. In the process, the author sheds fresh light on 'Othello' itself and on the question of textual and generic influence in general.
