As You Like It -- William Shakespeare

Uncertain of their standing in court and fearing for their lives, Rosalind and Orlando are forced into exile in the Forest of Arden, only to become entangled in a beguiling game of love, lust, and mistaken identity. One of Shakespeare's great comedies, As You Like It subverts the traditional rules of romance, confusing gender roles, nature, and politics. <p/>Under the editorial supervision of Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen, two of today's most accomplished Shakespearean scholars, this Modern Library series incorporates definitive texts and authoritative notes from William Shakespeare: Complete Works. Each play includes an Introduction as well as an overview of Shakespeare's theatrical career; commentary on past and current productions based on interviews with leading directors, actors, and designers; scene-by-scene analysis; key facts about the work; a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times; and black-and-white illustrations. <p/>Ideal for students, theater professionals, and general readers, these modern and accessible editions from the Royal Shakespeare Company set a new standard in Shakespearean literature for the twenty-first century.<br><br><b>Author:</b> William Shakespeare<br><b>Publisher:</b> Modern Library<br><b>Published:</b> 05/04/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.42lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.14h x 5.66w x 0.57d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780812969221<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-17<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>William Shakespea
