As You Like It: Folger Library (Paperback)
If you want detailed notes on words, Elizabethan idioms, and context, you can’t do better than the Folger editions. It’s no wonder that these editions are extremely popular with teachers.
Shakespeare's As You Like It can appear bright or sombre in performance: a feast of language and a delight for comic actors; or a risk-taking exploration of gender roles. This edition offers an account of what makes the play both innocent and dangerous, mapping the complexities of its setting (a no-man's-land related to both France and England) and giving an ample commentary on its language and an analytical account of performance.
