This volume includes essays on five plays, Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, Troilus and Cressida, and The Winter’s Tale, and within these Bloom meditates on Shakespeare’s work as a whole. In particular, we see the full variety of erotic connections, from the "star-crossed" devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the failed romance of Troilus and Cressida to the problematic friendship of Falstaff and Hal. Unlike the Romantics and other moderns, Shakespeare has no project for the betterment or salvation of mankind-his poetry simply gives us eyes to see what is there. "No one can make us love love as much as Shakespeare, and no one can make us despair of it as effectively as he does." William Shakespeare is the only classical author to remain widely popular-not only in America but throughout the world-and Allan Bloom argues that this is because no other writer holds up a truer mirror to human nature. ![]() |
