As You Like It (BBC TV Shakespeare)

With its explorations of sexual ambivalence, As You Like It speaks directly to the twenty-first century. Juliet Dusinberre demonstrates that Rosalind's authority in the play grows from new ideas about women and reveals that Shakespeare's heroine reinvents herself for every age. But the play is also deeply rooted in Elizabethan culture and through it Shakespeare addresses some of the hotly debated issues of the period.Peter Alexander is the author of 'As You Like It (BBC TV Shakespeare)' with ISBN 9780831704834 and ISBN 0831704837.
