Text is lacking but I did not buy it to read.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. CostumesBy Joy MortensenThis is a good additional source for medieval and renaissance units. especially since it is in color. A wider variety of costumes would be welcome.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Perfect reference when teaching any Shakespeare playBy Marnie L. ColantuoniPerfect reference when teaching any Shakespeare play. This book contains 8.5x11" pages and pages of men. women and children wearing a variety of full color medieval and renaissance clothing styles. Very little text. which is exactly what I was looking for. Gave my students an idea what the characters may have looked like as we read Othello in class. Its OK if the time frame is a little off - Im not a purist when it comes to which fabrics. threads and dyes were actually distributed along the clothing time continuum. I used this book to put a face to the name of each character in the play. Worked well.
