Speaking of the Moor : from "Alcazar" to "Othello"
Speaking of the Moor explores why the Moor became a central character on the English stage at the turn of the sixteenth century. Looking closely at key early modern dramatic and historical texts, the book uncovers the Moor's complex identity as a Mediterranean figure poised provocatively between European and non-European worlds.
