As You Like It

Shakespeare's comedy in the pastoral setting of the Forest of Arden develops the plight of a banished duke, his daughter, and her cousin. Rosalind and Celia choose disguises that enable them to learn much about Orlando while also producing complications from other suitors less suitable. In the end, loyalty prevails, forgiveness reunites, and four marriages take place among characters bedazzled by love in a forest and committed to life together beyond.

This edition of As You Like It is especially designed for students with accessible on-page notes and explanatory illustrations. The notes include definitions of difficult words and passages, valuable background information, and suggested assignments to guide students to master Shakespeare's work.

Students of all ages relate to the universal themes of injustice, forgiveness, disguise, foolishness, loyalty, and, yes, definitely love.
