What is the best translation of Othello?

Question

Accepted Answer

For most readers, the Folger Shakespeare Library translation (1993) of Othello is the best place to start: For almost everyone, the Folger is the right Othello. Notes face the text, so you keep your footing through Iago's fast, insinuating speech without diving to the bottom of the page. Cheap, clear, and the classroom standard. This is where I'd start. For most scholarly, consider Arden (3rd series) (1997). For best one-volume scholarly, consider Oxford Shakespeare (2006). For for beginners, consider No Fear Shakespeare (2003). For free, consider Free (public domain) (1622).
