The tragedy of the great Moor of Venice and his pitiful Desdemona is essentially private - it divides no city,destroys no kingdom - and Iago's malignancy,which brings about their ruin,is equally personal.Yet this drama of a 'free and open nature' eaten away by jealousy, written in the maturity of Shakespeare's dramatic power,has a breadth and grandeur which make it one of the world's greatest tragedies, almost perfect in construction and full of superb poetry.
The stimulating Introduction deals with the problems of this dark and turbulent play from the point of view of actor and producer.
The full colour reproductions of the striking designs for costumes and set,used in the Stratford company's recent tour, 1953,of Australia and New Zealand,have a depth and brilliance which magnificently evoke all the barbaric splendours of the play.The text used is that of the New Temple edition,of which the excellence need not be emphasised here,while the glossary by Miss Jean Rook,provides explanation where explanation is essential.

The Folio Society’s success is due to publishing books with exceptional typography,illustrations,paper and bindings.The Society sources new introductions from literary experts to accompany classic texts,using skilled designers and master printers to produce memorable fine books in both fiction and non-fiction fields.The Folio Society also prides itself on producing series of an author's works which regular publishers might not think economic - in several cases it is only possible to acquire forgotten books by major writers in Folio Society editions.
