This wisely funny comedy, which contains some of Shakespeare?s loveliest poetry, contrasts a court?s world of envy and rivalry with a forest?s world of compassion and harmony. In the Forest of Arden, the banished young heroine, Rosalind, disguised as a gentleman farmer, encounters an extraordinary assemblage of characters, including a fool, a malcontent traveler, her own banished father, and the banished young man she loves. Romantic happiness triumphs, even as we laugh at the excesses of love, at the ways of court and countryside, indeed, at everything, in this masterpiece of comic writing.

Each Edition Includes:

? Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship
? Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English
