Bloom leads us through a comprehensive reading of every one of the dramatist's plays, illuminating each work with wit and insight. Bloom's thesis, that Shakespeare not only reinvented the English language, but also created human nature as we know it today, is developed convincingly without forcing awkward interpretations of the plays.
