Much Ado: a reading and some images

Note: the article, "The Editorial Recuperation of Claudio" by Michael D. Friedman [Comparative Drama. 25 (1991-1992): 371-86] is available on reserve in the MacPherson Library.

These images are taken from nineteenth-century engravings; they illustrate attitudes of the time, but are not necessarily representative of actual performances.
