As You Like It is a play written by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599. The play is a pastoral comedy, set in the Forest of Arden. The story revolves around Rosalind, the daughter of Duke Senior, who is banished from the court by her uncle Duke Frederick. Rosalind disguises herself as a boy named Ganymede and flees to the forest with her cousin Celia. In the forest, they encounter a variety of characters, including the melancholy Jaques, the lovesick Orlando, and the shepherdess Phoebe. Rosalind, still disguised as Ganymede, helps Orlando woo her while also trying to find a way to reconcile with her father. The play explores themes of love, gender roles, and the natural world. It is known for its witty dialogue, memorable characters, and famous soliloquies, including the famous All the world's a stage speech delivered by Jaques.Hang There My Verse, In Witnesse Of My Loue, And Thou Thrice Crowned Queene Of Night Suruey With Thy Chaste Eye, From Thy Pale Spheare Aboue Thy Huntresse Name, That My Full Life Doth Sway.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
