| Sumario: | The article discusses the methodology and limits of interpretation in reading illustrated editions of William Shakespeare's plays. Among the suggested approaches to absorb the effect of reading images in illustrated editions of Shakespearean plays include sorting out the system of relations that each image has with contemporary theater, artistic style and reading practice, the selection of moment for illustration, the kinds of readers that the image address, and the reading experience the images offer. The history of emotional presentation in visual texts as well as the engagement between the illustrated drama and the illustrated novel are two other aesthetic categories that must be considered when exploring readings by an illustrated edition.
