"""For thirty years, Joel Altman's foundational thinking about Tudor drama has inspired scholars working at the boundaries of rhetoric, literature, and law. His brilliant and complex new study will have an even greater impact. Combining great erudition and conceptual sophistication with a dazzling sensitivity to literary language as an instrument of psychological and ethical meaning, The Improbability of Othello is a magisterial contribution to Shakespeare and early modern studies, to the histories of rhetoric and culture, and to the genealogy of self and subjectivity."" - Bradin Cormack, University of Chicago"""
