Summary

With its cross-dressed heroine, gender games and explorations of sexual ambivalence, its Forest of Arden and melancholy Jacques, Shakespeare speaks directly to the twenty-first century. Through the concealing medium of literary pastoral, he addresses some of the issues of his own time, including the fortunes of the Earl of Essex, and more.

As You Like it Summary

As You Like it by William Shakespeare

With its explorations of sexual ambivalence, As You Like It speaks directly to the twenty-first century. Juliet Dusinberredemonstrates that Rosalind's authority in the play grows from new ideas about women and reveals that Shakespeare's heroine reinvents herself for every age. But the play is also deeply rooted in Elizabethan culture and through it Shakespeare addresses some of the hotly debated issues of the period.This will be the definitive edition of As You Like It for many years to come - Phyllis Rackin, University of Pennsylvania
