In this edition, Alan Brissenden reassesses both its textual and performance history, showing how interpretations have changed since the first recorded production in 1740. He examines Shakespeare's sources and elucidates the central themes of love, pastoral, and doubleness. Detailed annotations investigate the allusive and often bawdy language, enabling student, actor, and director to savour the humour and the seriousness of the play to the full. - ;As You Like It is ShakespeaThe Oxford ShakespeareExilesDramaFathers and daughtersDramaExilesFathers and daughters822.33Shakespeare William1564-1616.132200Brissenden Alan166295MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817873403321As you like it4085082UNINA
