As You Like It: The Oxford Shakespeare As You Like It

Paperback (Oxford University Press July 15, 2008) , 1 edition
With its witty heroine Rosalind, who has the longest role of Shakespeare's female characters, As You Like It is Shakespeare's most light-hearted and most performed comedy. This edition includes numerous illustrations of productions and reassesses both its textual and performance history, showing how interpretations have changed since the first recorded production in 1740. It also examines Shakespeare's sources and elucidates the central themes of love, pastoral, and doubleness, and provides detailed annotations investigating the play's allusive and often bawdy language.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
