One of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, As You Like It whisks its audience into the enchanted Forest of Arden, where the exiled Rosalind — one of literature's most witty and resourceful heroines — disguises herself as a young man and orchestrates a remarkable sequence of romantic entanglements, philosophical debates, and joyful misunderstandings. At its heart, the play chronicles the collision between the corrupt world of court and the liberating, if idealized, world of nature, setting the stage for love, self-discovery, and transformation in equal measure. This Folger Library General Reader's Shakespeare edition, edited by the distinguished scholars Louis B. Wright and Virginia A. LaMar, presents the play with the general reader firmly in mind — pairing Shakespeare's rich, exuberant text with accessible editorial commentary drawn from the renowned Folger Library Collections. Shakespeare's language here is at its most playful and profound, brimming with iconic speeches such as Jaques' All the world's a stage, which continue to resonate across centuries. A masterwork of pastoral comedy that argues for the redemptive power of love and laughter, this edition invites both the newcomer and the seasoned reader to ask, alongside its characters: what does it truly mean to live well?
