Much Ado About Nothing, almost cer- tainly of the same year, shows us why. In 1599 Shakspere's creative imagination, diverted once more, left chronicle-history where he found it ; but turning afresh to comedy, carried comedy to its highest possible point. AS YOU LIKE IT 199 XIII. As You Like It. [As You Like It was entered, along with the two preceding plays, "tobestaied" in the Stationers' Register, on August 4th, 1600. It was not printed till the folio of 162. 3. Its source is a novel by Thom...as Lodge, called Rosalynde, Euphuet Golden Lef/arie, etc. , published in 1590. From the circumstances of its entry, together with internal evi- dence, such as the quotation of a line from Marlowe's Hero and Lean- der} published in 1598, its date has generally been conjecturally placed in 1599 or 1600. ] As You Like It^ beyond question among the most popular of Shakspere's plays, differs from Much Ado About Nothing rather in substance than in man- ner. Just as masterly, just as far from experimental, it is distinctly less significant.
