| Summary: | Complex, subversive and boasting a rich performance history, As You Like It is one of Shakespeare's most popular and widely studied comedies. Scholars are inspired by the play's treatment of early modern labor and property, its figuring of women as agents of change and its playful reimagining of romance and the pastoral tradition. In this engaging introduction to the play's critical history, Dana E. Aspinall provides a comprehensive overview of responses from the eighteenth century to the present day. Thoroughly inclusive and up-to-date, this is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature. |
