The reeminent literary critic-and ultimate authority on the western literary traditionBloom 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 scholarships: that Shakespeare not only invented the English language, but also created human nature as we know it today.
My husband has a morning grad school class before we head to Stratford to see Romeo & Juliet, so I'm chilling with Harold Bloom and a billion books in the school library. Birthday bliss for this bookworm!
My students may have different perspective, but I'm pumped about starting Shakespeare next week! Cool swag = ✅ #TeachersOfLitsy
...the representation of human character and personality remains always the supreme literary value, whether in drama, lyric or narrative. I am naive enough to read incessantly because I cannot, on my own, get to know enough people profoundly enough.
