SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM
As You Like It is Shakespeare's most light-hearted comedy, and its witty heroine Rosalind has his longest female role. In this edition, Alan Brissenden reassesses both its textual and performance history, showing how interpretations have changed since the first recorded production in 1740. He examines Shakespeare's sources and elucidates the central themes of love, pastoral, and doubleness. Detailed annotations investigate the allusive and often bawdy language, enabling student, actor, and director to savour the humour and the seriousness of the play to the full.
William Shakespeare (Straford-upon-Avon 1564-1616) va ser actor, poeta i dramaturg. Les seves obres, escrites a finals del segle XVI i començaments del XVII (moment en el qual escriu les tragèdies més conegudes), són representades avui arreu del món de manera regular. De Shakespeare, i en traducció de Joan Sellent, Quaderns Crema ha publicat Hamlet (2000) i El rei Lear (2008).
