«As You Like It» is Charles Barber's study guide to Shakespeare's comedy, in the York Notes series, in paperback (86 pages, in English).
The guide analyses Shakespeare's romantic comedy, which contrasts a world of envy and rivalry with the Forest of Arden, where compassion and harmony reign. There, the exiled Rosalind, disguised as a young man, encounters a fool, a grumpy traveller, her exiled father, and the young man she is in love with.
Aimed at secondary school students preparing for English literature exams, particularly the British Key Stage 4 and GCSE curriculum.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
