SynopsisFrom Harold Bloom's now-canonical book, Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, comes a joyous demonstration that Bottom is a comic apotheosis and not in any way a buffoon. As Bloom urges, we are to consider Puck's transformation of Bottom not as a reduction to bestiality but rather as a comic triumph of innocence over enchantment. Book jacket.
