In this landmark work of literary criticism, Harold Bloom explores how William Shakespeare's characters and language created the modern concept of the human personality. Analyzing all thirty-eight plays, Bloom argues that Shakespeare's originality in depicting human inwardness has shaped our understanding of ourselves.
