Summary note:
The author offers an analysis of some of the central work of the Western canon, and of the playwright who not only invented the English language, but who also arguably created human nature as we know it today. Before
Shakespeare
there was characterization; after
Shakespeare
, there were characters, men and women capable of change, with highly individual personalities. In this book, the author outlines why
Shakespeare
has remained a popular and universal dramatist for more than four centuries.
