《皆大欢喜》是莎士比亚创作的"四大喜剧"之一，故事场景主要发生在远离尘世的亚登森林中。大约创作于1598-1600年间。《皆大欢喜》取材于16世纪英国作家托马斯·罗奇散文体的牧歌传奇《罗瑟琳》，这种世外桃源式的吟咏牧羊人纯洁无限爱情的牧歌文学是欧洲一个源远流长的艺术传统。牧歌传奇在中世纪中断之后，文艺复兴时代重又兴盛。(As You Like It is one of the Four Comedies of Shakespeare which scenes are mainly take place in Arden forest that far away from the earth. It is written in around 1598 to 1600. As You Like It is based on Rosalind, a prosy pastoral tale of British writer Thomas Roche in 16 century. This kind of pastoral literature with idyllic beauty is a artistic tradition of long standing in Europe, which chant the pure and infinite love of sheepherder. The pastoral tale was interrupt in middle ages and became prosperous in Renaissance.)
