As You Like It

The Signet Classics edition of William Shakespeare’s comedic play about two enduring human illusions–the dream of a simple life and the ideal of romantic love.

Banished from her uncle’s court, young princess Rosalind disguises herself as a farmer and encounters a memorable cast of characters–including her love Orlando–in the Forest of Arden in this witty, subversive comedy.

This revised Signet Classics edition includes unique features such as:

– An overview of Shakespeare’s life, world, and theater
– A special introduction to the play by the editor, Albert Gilman
– Selections from Thomas Lodge’s Rosalynd, the source from which Shakespeare derived As You Like It
– Dramatic criticism from Arthur Colby Sprague, Helen Gardener, and others
– A comprehensive stage and screen history of notable actors, directors, and productions
– Text, notes, and commentaries printed in the clearest, most readable text
– And more…
