Despite the apparent simplicity of its plot, it<em>\u00a0<\/em>offers a whole gamut of emotions and engages with the act of counterfeiting, thereby proposing a multiplicity of mirror games, from its binary and symmetrical structure to its linguistic games and ritual inversions. Yet, the comedy\u2019s \u201ctrue delights\u201d (5.4.182) should not overshadow its deep social and political relevance. This volume intends to shed fresh light on Shakespeare\u2019s \u201cgreen\u201d comedy so as to emphasise its powerful resonances today. Divided into four parts, it first deals with some of the main ecocritical issues at work in the play before examining Shakespeare\u2019s reassessment of human nature. The volume then proceeds with the experimental dimension of\u00a0<em>As You Like It\u00a0<\/em>and explores specific issues related to staging and editing. An Epilogue presented as a question-and-answer session provides clarifying remarks on the comedy\u2019s rich literary background. Working with a variety of approaches, these essays highlight the complexity of a fascinating play while taking stock of the recent critical trends in Shakespearean studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pubp.univ-bpclermont.fr\/public\/Fiche_produit.php?titre=New%20perspectives%20on%20Shakespeare\u2019s%20As%20You%20Like%20It\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website of PUBP<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pubp.univ-bpclermont.fr\/public\/pdf\/Asyoulikeit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Table of Contents<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/As-You-Like-It_AVP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-445 noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-445 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/File-Extension-Pdf-32.png?resize=32%2C32&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" \/>About the Volume <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/AYL-Contents.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-445 noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-445 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/File-Extension-Pdf-32.png?resize=32%2C32&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" \/>Table of Contents<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Perspectives on Shakespeare\u2019s &#8220;As You Like It&#8221;, co-edited by Sophie Chiari, Sophie Lemercier-Goddard and Mich\u00e8le Vignaux Presses Universitaires Blaise Pascal Mai 2017 ISBN (Book) : 978-2-84516-756-8 ISBN (PDF) : 978-2-84516-757-5 A favourite with audiences and critics alike, Shakespeare\u2019s\u00a0As You Like It\u00a0owes part of its appeal to its seemingly endless capacity for recreation.
