As You Like It (ca. 1599-1600) stands among Shakespeare's most enchanting comedies, celebrated for its pastoral setting, sparkling wit, and unforgettable characters. Literature professor Joseph Luzzi offers an in-depth exploration of Shakespeare's lyrical language, dramatic artistry, and representations of love, identity, nature, and self-discovery, among other central themes.
