With its explorations of sexual ambivalence As You Like It speaks directly to the twenty-first century. Juliet Dusinberredemonstrates that Rosalinds authority in the play grows from new ideas about women & reveals that Shakespeares heroine reinvents herself for every age. But the play is also deeply rooted in Elizabethan culture & through it Shakespeare addresses some of the hotly debated issues of the period. This will be the definitive edition of As You Like It for many years to come"
