Book Description
As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain, though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 has been suggested as a possibility. As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveler Jaques who speaks many of Shakespeare's most famous speeches (such as "All the world's a stage", "too much of a good thing" and "A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest"). Jaques provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country.

Book Description
The play begins with the unjust banishment of Rosalind, the daughter of Duke Senior, from her uncle's court. Rosalind, accompanied by her cousin Celia, disguises herself as a young man named Ganymede and flees to the Forest of Arden. In the forest, Rosalind encounters Orlando, a young man with whom she has fallen in love. Orlando is also fleeing the oppressive court, having been mistreated by his brother Oliver. Rosalind, disguised as Ganymede, decides to test Orlando's love by engaging in witty and often humorous exchanges with him. Meanwhile, in the Forest of Arden, various characters are seeking refuge or solace. Duke Senior, banished like his daughter Rosalind, is living a pastoral life along with his followers. The forest becomes a place of refuge for others as well, including the melancholic Jaques and the shepherds Corin and Silvius. The play also introduces the character of Touchstone, a court jester, who accompanies Rosalind and Celia in their journey. His witty banter and humorous observations add a comedic element to the story. "As You Like It" includes one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches, "All the world's a stage," delivered by the character Jaques. The play concludes with multiple marriages and a return to order, a common feature in Shakespearean comedies.

Historically, critical response has varied, with some critics finding the work of lesser quality than other Shakespearean works and some finding the play a work of great merit. The play features one of Shakespeare's most famous and oft-quoted speeches, "All the world's a stage", and is the origin of the phrase "too much of a good thing". The play remains a favourite among audiences and has been adapted for radio, film, and musical theatre. The piece has been a favorite for famous actors on stage and screen, notably Vanessa Redgrave, Juliet Stevenson, Rebecca Hall, Helen Mirren, and Patti LuPone in the role of Rosalind and Alan Rickman, Stephen Spinella, Kevin Kline and Stephen Dillane in the role of Jaques.
