	Othello (Folger Shakespeare Library)
		In Iago Shakespeare beats out with flsmith rhythm one of his greatest creations, a man fired by jealousy, tempered by hatred, a man whose determination is hammered into shape and whose evil expresses itself in duplicitous twists and malignant turns enough to topple Othello.
		Shakespeare's characters have a realism which contrasts with the earlier role of the staged character as a mouthpiece for words and vehicle for action.
		Shakespeare's plays, remember, have thrilled and inspired actors for centuries: they continue to do so, and each generation of actors wrings new interpretations and understandings from performance.

	Newsletter of the Friends of Amherst College Library, Volume 28, Folger Shakespeare Library Fellows
		The opportunity to do research at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C. was in fact one of the main things that swayed me towards choosing Amherst over several other small liberal arts colleges (including, most notably, Williams).
		When I found out that the library owned a unique collection of promptbooks from 18th- and 19th-century productions of the play, I decided to come up with a proposal focusing on the research of the play's performance history between the Renaissance and the twentieth century.
		During the two and a half weeks at the Folger I then indeed managed to look at every major rendition of the play within the 250 year span I was focusing on.
