Shakespeare: Die Erfindung des Menschlichen

Bloom's analysis suggests Shakespeare shaped how we see ourselves today. I'm curious what drove this particular emphasis and how he approached interpreting Shakespeare's influence.

The division into two parts felt deliberate, but I'm wondering if it was also meant to mirror the complexity of Shakespeare's work and its ongoing influence.

His view of Shakespeare as the inventor of human personality is bold, but I wonder how this aligns or conflicts with other scholarly interpretations.
