Mathews, Charles: Othello, the Moor of Fleet Street (1833)

Edited by Manfred Draudt. This hitherto neglected burlesque transfers Shakespeare's tragedy into a beggars' millieu and reduces the hero to a London crossing-sweeper. The text, which survives only in one manuscript in the British Library, here receives its due for the first time in a meticulous critical edition. XV,99 Seiten, broschiert (Francke Verlag 1993)
