TOSSUP 1
This location is described as having "the icy fang and churlish chiding of the winter's wind". But with "books in the running brooks" and "sermons in stones", it is "good in every thing". Its residents feel "but the penalty of Adam", as they "fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world." Two new female arrivals buy a cottage there from a shepherd named Corin, as a new male arrival posts his love poetry all around. Feeling "more free from peril than the envious court", for 10 points, what is this wilderness that is a refuge for the exiled Duke as well as Orlando, Celia, and Rosalind in Shakespeare's As You Like It?

Answer:  the Forest of Arden
