Best Answer

The first publication of a Shakespeare play was the Quarto Edition of Titus Andronicus in 1594. However, it was probably not published with Shakespeare's knowledge or consent. Plays did not belong to their author, the company who first performed them owned the exclusive rights. So, either the acting company authorized it or, more likely, it was a pirated, the way that some people pirate DVDs today.

When did William Shakespeare write As You Like It?

I think you are referring to the play "As you like it" by William Shakespeare written around 1600 and published in 1623 in the first folio. The play is a comedy out of which lines such as "all the world's a play" and "too much of a good thing" originate. The play was probably based on Thomas Lodge's Rosalynde itself based on tale by Chaucer - The Tale of Gamelyn.
