Similarly, in the Sicilian world of The Winter's Tale hospitality falters completely by the end of 3.2 as Hermione apparently dies and so does the royal son. It takes a presumed death to begin the restoration. In Much Ado about Nothing, for example, the wedding scene in 4.1 should offer the quintessence of joy and hospitality but it does not, thanks to the machinations of Don Jon and the credulity of Claudio and others. A key element of hospitality is entertainment, which literarily means βto hold together.β But fractures occur in Sicily, leading to a breakdown of the social fabric.

Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing and The Winter's Tale share a common setting: Sicily. He has had a long interest in Shakespeare's connection to the Mediterranean, as seen in his participation in all, except the first, of the Mediterranean Studies Association conferences. His latest book is Shakespeare's London 1613 ( 2017). The Stuart royal family also has been part of his scholarly focus, such as in Royal Family, Royal Lovers (1991) and King James and Letters of Homoerotic Desire (1999). His studies of patronage culminated in his book Textual Patronage in English Drama, 1570β1640 (2006). He edited The Winter's Tale for the Norton Shakespeare edition (2016). He has written on Shakespeare extensively, such as Shakespeare's Romances and the Royal Family ( 1985) and Reading and Writing in Shakespeare (1996). He has edited the pageants of Anthony Munday, Thomas Middleton, and Thomas Heywood. His focus has been on civic pageantry, beginning with the seminal study English Civic Pageantry 1558β1642 (1971 revised and reprinted 2003). He has published numerous books and articles on Shakespeare and the culture of Tudor-Stuart England. Bergeron is Professor of English Emeritus at the University of Kansas.
