Description

Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, is the culmination of a lifetime of reading, writing about, and teaching Shakespeare. Preeminent literary critic Harold Bloom leads us through a comprehensive reading of every one of the dramatist's plays, brilliantly illuminating each work with unrivaled warmth, wit and insight. At the same time, Bloom presents one of the boldest theses of Shakespearean sholoarship - that Shakespeare not only reinvented the English Language, but aslo created human nature as we know it today.
