{"product_id":"as-you-like-it-isbn-9780553212907","title":"As You Like It","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach Edition Includes:\u003cbr\u003e• Comprehensive explanatory notes \u003cbr\u003e• Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship \u003cbr\u003e• Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English\u003cbr\u003e• Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories \u003cbr\u003e• An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmographyWilliam Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant of some standing in his community. William probably went to the King’s New School in Stratford, but he had no university education. In November 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child, Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( who would die at age eleven), and a girl, Judith, were born in 1585. By 1592 Shakespeare had gone to London working as an actor and already known as a playwright. A rival dramatist, Robert Greene, referred to him as “an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers.” Shakespeare became a principal shareholder and playwright of the successful acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men (later under James I, called the King’ s Men). In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain’s Men built and occupied the Globe Theater in Southwark near the Thames River. Here many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed by the most famous actors of his time, including Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, and Robert Armin. In addition to his 37 plays, Shakespeare had a hand in others, including \u003ci\u003eSir Thomas More\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Two Noble Kinsmen\u003c\/i\u003e, and he wrote poems, including \u003ci\u003eVenus and Adonis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Rape of Lucrece\u003c\/i\u003e. His 154 sonnets were published, probably without his authorization, in 1609. In 1611 or 1612 he gave up his lodgings in London and devoted more and more time to retirement in Stratford, though he continued writing such plays as \u003cb\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eHenry VII\u003c\/b\u003e until about 1613. He died on April 23 1616, and was buried in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford. No collected edition of his plays was published during his life-time, but in 1623 two members of his acting company, John Heminges and Henry Condell, put together the great collection now called the First Folio.[Dramatis Personae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuke Senior, a banished duke\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuke Frederick, his usurping brother \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosalind, daughter of Duke Senior, later disguised as Ganymede\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCelia, daughter of Duke Frederick, later disguised as Aliena\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOliver, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJaques, sons of Sir Rowland de Boys\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrlando, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmiens, lords attending Duke Senior\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJaques, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ele beau, a courtier attending Duke Frederick\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles, a wrestler in the court of Duke Frederick\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam, an aged servant of Oliver and then Orlando\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDennis, a servant of Oliver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etouchstone, the clown or fool\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorin, an old shepherd\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilvius, a young shepherd, in love with Phoebe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ephoebe, a shepherdess\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam, a country youth, in love with Audrey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudrey, a country wench\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esir Oliver mar-text, a country vicar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehymen, god of marriage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLords and Attendants waiting on Duke Frederick\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand Duke Senior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003escene: Oliver's house; Duke Frederick's court;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand the Forest of Arden]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.1 Location: The garden of Oliver's house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1-3 it was . . . crowns it was in this way that I was left, by the terms of my father's will, a mere thousand crowns or £250\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 crowns coins worth five shillings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3-4 charged . . . well my brother was instructed as a condition of my father's blessing to educate me well\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 My . . . school My oldest brother Oliver maintains my other brother, Jaques, at university\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 profit progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 stays detains.  unkept poorly supported\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11-12 fair . . . feeding kept well groomed with good diet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 manage manage, paces and maneuvers in the art of horsemanship\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 riders trainers.  dearly expensively\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e17 countenance behavior; (neglectful) patronage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e19 hinds farm hands.  bars me excludes me from\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e19-20 as much . . . education with all the power at his disposal, undermines my right to be educated as a gentleman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e26 Go apart Stand aside\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e27 shake me up abuse me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e28 make do.
