Description
Shakespeare drew the story for As You Like It from a story called ÒRosalynde, EuphuesÕ Golden LegacyÓ written by Thomas Lodge and published in 1590. In ShakespeareÕs version, Frederick has usurped the Duchy and exiled his older brother, referred to only as the Duke. The DukeÕs daughter Rosalind has been permitted to remain at court because she is the closest friend of FrederickÕs only child, Celia. Orlando, a young gentleman of the duchy who has fallen in love with Rosalind, is forced to flee his home after being persecuted by his older brother, Oliver. Frederick becomes angry and orders Rosalind to flee his court. Celia and Rosalind decide to flee together accompanied by the jester Touchstone, with Rosalind disguised as a young man. - from Amzon
