Product Description

As You Like It (The New Cambridge Shakespeare)

Author/s: William Shakespeare

Editor/s: Michael Hattaway

Shakespeare's As You Like It can appear bright or sombre in performance: a feast of language and a delight for comic actors; or a risk-taking exploration of gender roles.

This updated edition provides an account of what makes this popular play both innocent and dangerous.

There is a section on recent critical, stage and film interpretations of the play, an updated reading list and a new appendix on an early court performance of As You Like It in 1599.

Mapping the complexities of the play's setting – a no man's land related to both France and England, the edition also includes detailed commentary on its language and an analytical account of performance.
