reviewed Othello: A Contextual History on April 01, 2008 Othello: A Contextual History
I only plucked this off the library shelf because I was struggling with filmic adaptations of Henry V. There's a really good section on Laurence Olivier and I found some little bots and bobs that helped, but I felt that the book as a whole is rushed.
It packs in a lot of information (I haven't read this cover to cover, but I've dipped into most of the chapters) but I felt that perhaps there could have been more focus on he iconic adaptations, including Olivier and Branagh's Henry V.
It's a good book, informative and still useful.. But I guess I just expected more.
