In the bestselling Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, Harold Bloom showed us how Shakespeare shaped human consciousness, and addressed the question of authorship in Hamlet. In Hamlet: Poem Unlimited, America''s most celebrated critic turns his attention to a reading of the play itself and to Shakespeare''s most enigmatic and memorable character. |
