As You Like It Mass market paperbound - 1988
by William Shakespeare; David Bevington (Editor); David Scott Kastan (Editor)
The Bantam Classics makeover continues in Summer 2005--and beyond! With bright new cover art and interiors reset for enhanced readability, the line that makes great literature available, accessible, and affordable, is now better than ever . . . while still delivering authoritative translations, critical biographies, and in-book essays that provide scholarship and entertainment.
Summary
From the rear cover
This wisely funny comedy, which contains some of Shakespeare's loveliest poetry, contrasts a court's world of envy and rivalry with a forest's world of compassion and harmony. In the Forest of Arden, the banished young heroine, Rosalind, disguised as a gentleman farmer, encounters an extraordinary assemblage of characters, including a fool, a malcontent traveler, her own banished father, and the banished young man she loves. Romantic happiness triumphs, even as we laugh at the excesses of love, at the ways of court and countryside, indeed, at everything, in this masterpiece of comic writing.
Each Edition Includes: - Comprehensive explanatory notes
- Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship - Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English
- Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories - An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography
