Shakespearean scholarship at its quintessential best is here represented. Amnéus examines the text of Othello, and its variations, to reveal that there were essentially three versions of Othello--all so crucially diverse as to almost warrant the claim that they were three different plays. If Amnéus' scholarship is labyrinthine, his findings are gold, and the reader can not but marvel at how Amnéus ingenuity so well serves Shakespeare's genius.
