In a world turned upside down by exile and injustice, love becomes the only forest worth getting lost in. When Duke Senior is overthrown by his treacherous brother and banished to the Forest of Arden, his daughter Rosalind soon follows — disguised as a young man named Ganymede, with her cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone at her side. What begins as flight from a corrupt court becomes something far stranger and more wonderful: a world where shepherds philosophize, fools speak truth, and a melancholy traveler named Jaques delivers the most famous meditation on human existence ever written for the stage. At the heart of it all is Rosalind — one of the great comic heroines of the English language. Sharp, brave, and deeply in love with the banished Orlando, she turns her disguise into a game, her exile into freedom, and the chaos of the forest into a crucible for testing what love, loyalty, and self-knowledge really mean. Wit and tenderness alternate in perfect measure as characters from every walk of life find their way to Arden — and to themselves. As You Like It is Shakespeare's most joyful and most philosophical comedy: a play about performance and identity, about the gap between court and nature, between the world as it is and the world as we wish it to be. This edition presents the complete, unabridged text of one of the most beloved works in the English dramatic canon.
