«As You Like It (The Arden Shakespeare)» is William Shakespeare's comedy in paperback, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold (232 pages, in English).
A Shakespearean comedy that speaks directly to the 21st century through its explorations of sexual ambivalence: Rosalind's authority stems from new ideas about women, and the heroine reinvents herself for every age. At the same time, the play is deeply rooted in Elizabethan culture and addresses some of the period's liveliest debates.
The edition, published in 1976, was prepared by Agnes Latham and belongs to the Arden Shakespeare series.
Suitable for students of literature and theatre, Shakespeare scholars, and readers interested in Elizabethan culture and in stage interpretations of the classics.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
