With its explorations of sexual ambivalence, As You Like It speaks directly to the twenty-first century. Juliet Dusinberre demonstrates that Rosalind's authority in the play grows from new ideas about women and reveals that Shakespeare's heroine reinvents herself for every age. But the play is also deeply rooted in Elizabethan culture and through it Shakespeare addresses some of the hotly debated issues of the period. No library descriptions found. |

This particular edition is part of a series that was released to supplement BBC televised adaptations, so it includes a cast list, pictures from the production, and notes where the script was altered for TV (pointing out what lines were omitted and the stage direction alterations to fit with the filming locations). It's interesting to see which bits of dialogue were cut, some probably for time and others for a better narrative flow.
This one will be going to my Little Free Library, hopefully to be discovered by some burgeoning Shakespeare fan. ( )
