Shakespeare's dramatic pastoral raises problems of its own, as the extreme artifice of its construction and style may rebuff a modern audience. Defined as a conversation play, As You Like It is also a motley play which insistently elaborates a discourse on the limits of representation and stylistic appropriation. The play certainly represents Shakespeare's most faithful dramatic adaptation of a narrative source hence the particular signifiance of such concepts as translation, citation, set speeches, (re)-writing, disguise, narrative and debate. This volume includes a study of the play's context Shakespearean and otherwise essays and commentaries by three Shakespearean scholars, whose approach has mainly been the specific exercises of the agrgation and CAPES (dissertation, commentaire de texte, leon, explicaiton de texte).
