Shakespeare

Harold Bloom, the doyen of American literary critics and author of The Western Canon, has spent a professional lifetime reading, writing about and teaching Shakespeare. In this magisterial interpretation, Bloom explains Shakespeare’s genius in a radical and provocative re-reading of the plays.

Reviews

‘Brilliant… a Shakespearean reading of Shakespeare which is rich in asides and incidentals.’
Robert Nye, Sunday Telegraph
‘Harold Bloom is the leading literary critic of our time… a superb advocate for the reality and influence of Shakespeare… Bloom, a great critic, also lives his literary criticism, enacts it in his soul.’
James Wood, Guardian
