More about the book
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
