About this ebook
“As You Like it” by William Shakespeare is a pastoral comedy. It is presumed that the play was written between 1599 and 1600. The play is said to be highly inspired by “Rosalynde” which was written by Thomas Lodge. “Rosalynde” was the early prose romance.
There is no reliable record providing the exact date of the play’s first performance, but there is a mention that the play was first performed in 1603 at Wilton House.
The story of the play is centered on Rosalind, the heroine of the play. She is the most significant character in the play. She runs away from the persecution in her uncle’s court. Celia, her cousin, is also fleeing with Rosalind. With them there is Touchstone, the court jester. The three of them reach a jungle and feel secure there. Finally, Rosalind finds her love in the Forest of Arden.

Chapter 1: Preface
Pace is the requirement of the time and this very pace compels the students to simply concentrate on the fact that they must pass their exams with flying colours. The tests and exams even for the students of literature have become speed tests rather than the process of evaluation of the mental ingenuity of the students. Young students from colleges, nowadays, simply want to pass their exams, for education has become job oriented. We used to go to college to gain knowledge but youngsters now go to colleges to get degrees. In the process something is lost. It is quite usual to see that the academic institutions all over the world are gradually forgetting the past geniuses on whose foundations the pillars of English Literature had been raised. Modern education and the educationalists seem to be finding an escape, running away from hard work, into modern literature which is but a drop in the ocean if compared to the works of the past masters.
Who could have thought that the vast and enchanting English literature and the English speaking world would be indebted to a person who had no academic higher education? Yes, William Shakespeare is the person who gave a new direction to the literary world and the academic pursuits all over the world.
Chapter 2: About William Shakespeare
The beauty of the English Language is so mesmerizing that without the knowledge of this beautiful language one finds oneself incapable of doing various things which one could have easily done if one had the knowledge of this language.
Vast and enchanting English Literature is immensely indebted to a person who did not have any higher academic qualification. Most of the colleges and universities all over the world have his poems and playas in their course of study. It is quite surprising that his diction was so much his own that if a man from this era tries to read his works using the modern meanings, he will definitely be quite confounded. Such was the power of the person that to understand his works properly one must have the dictionary which defines his vocabulary. That person, the most widely read and admired, is William Shakespeare, also called Bard.
William Shakespeare was born on 26 April, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith.
Having left Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare moved onto London and he started his career as an actor. In the following seven years, from 1585 to 1592, Shakespeare began a successful career as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men.
It is generally assumed that Shakespeare retired to Stratford around 1613, where he breathed his last three years later. In the absence of enough records of Shakespeare, most of the things about Bard are assumed. There has been a considerable amount of guesswork about his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs. Some critics and historians doubt whether the works attributed to Shakespeare were actually written by him; they say that some other people wrote the plays and poems which
