Beschrijving

As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599. It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks many of Shakespeare's most famous speeches (such as "All the world's a stage", "too much of a good thing" and "A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest"). Jaques provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country. The play remains a favourite among audiences and has been adapted for radio, film, and musical theatre. Here is a high-quality summary of the play, in a clear and practical format, as a help for study and an accessible way to discover Shakespeare's work.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was een Engels toneelschrijver en dichter. Hij wordt door velen beschouwd als de beste schrijver die Engeland ooit heeft voortgebracht. Shakespeare schreef 38 tragedies, koningsdrama's en komedies. Daarnaast schreef hij 154 sonnetten en een aantal langere gedichten.

Over het algemeen is men het er over eens dat de meeste van de aan hem toegeschreven stukken zijn geschreven in de periode 1585–1610.
