Othello, race and early modern England

In this talk, Dr Rutter will be discussing Shakespeare's Othello in relation to recent work on race in Elizabethan England, as well as the way black people are depicted in other texts of the period.

I went in expecting a standard talk about Shakespeare, but this session expanded my knowledge and got me thinking about differing interpretations of Othello that I hadn't previously explored.
