Othello | Paperback

Without this book I can honestly say, I do not think I'd have got the high mark I did in my AS level English Lit coursework. It helped me to explain many ideas I had of my own of the play and also gave me new ideas such as Bianca being the only surving female in the play. The points are in good detail yet easy to understand. Its the perfect way to referance ideas, I used to find myself saying 'argh what was that point again?-I'll look in the york notes' and within seconds of looking, I'd find it. Its an easily 'skim read' book too, so if your too busy to read it fully, its easy to use. I'd reccomend it to anyone doing anything on Othello - coursework or essay!

I rated this book 3 stars because I found it very annoying to correct nearly every single quotation. I have the book Othello by W.Shakespeare and while studying from the york notes Advanced on "Othello" i looked up the quotations highlighted and they did not match. Either my book has the wrong line numbers or the york notes has the line numbers wrong but other than that, the york notes is a very good book from where one can get more information about the play.
