"A riveting primer on the work many deem Shakespeare's greatest......astute analysis of major issues within the play, accessible overview of the history of their interpretation and a reading of contemporary criticism sure to set alight a few rooms in the ivory tower of Shakespearean studies"--Kirkus, starred review
"With their attention to the literary, social, and historical contexts of As You Like It, these stimulating essays help make sense of Shakespeare's witty but puzzling comedy. Throughout, Hunt is careful to demonstrate what is at stake for the play in relation to its late-Elizabethan origins."--Douglas Bruster, author of Shakespeare and the Question of Culture
