As You Like It: Language and Writing explores one of Shakespeares best-known comedies. It considers the literary and theatrical contexts in which Shakespeare was writing; examines, in detail, the different forms of language used in the play and considers ways in which language and meaning have changed over time, and are affected by performance. Each chapter contains a Writing matters section which provides suggestions for activities that can further enhance a students understanding of the play. This informative guide to Shakespeares popular comedy equips students with the critical skills to analyze its language, structure and themes and to expand and enrich their own responses to the play.
