Part 1  \"Materials \" is designed to help instructors manage the wealth of resources available for teaching Othello. The editors carefully assess editions of Othello and of Shakespeares collected works; review the textual history of the play; survey studies that address gender and race as historical concepts; and examine visual representations of Othello  particularly film adaptations. The essays in the second part  \"Approaches \" are divided into six topical sections. The first group considers race in Othello  in the Renaissance  and in the contemporary classroom. The second section addresses male desire  the fluidity of gender roles  and competing male and female fantasies. The generic forces that shape Othello are examined in the third section. The final sections explore classroom strategies  survey performances of the play  and formulate innovative ways to teach the sources and analogs of Othello.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652469415989,"sku":"ByrdShop_087352991X","price":44.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780873529914.jpg?v=1781851628","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/approaches-to-teaching-shakespeares-othello-approaches-to-teaching-world-literature-9780873529914","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
