Shakespeare, As You Like It
Reading and Writing - A podcast by Michael Lavers
Emma, Rachel, and I enthuse over As You Like It. We chat about what it can teach us about writing poetry in the 21st century, in what ways poetry can delight and instruct, how Shakespeare manages to conjure believable humans, what literary irony is, why Rosalind is so captivating, why Orlando's poetry is bad, in what ways all the world is a stage, how the play itself refutes its most famous soliloquy, and much more.
