520    "From Harold Bloom, one of the greatest Shakespeare 
       scholars of our time as well as a beloved professor who 
       has taught the Bard for over half a century, an intimate, 
       wise, deeply compelling portrait of Falstaff--
       Shakespeare's greatest enduring and complex comedic 
       character. Falstaff is both a comic and tragic central 
       protagonist in Shakespeare's three Henry plays: Henry IV, 
       Parts One and Two, and Henry V. He is companion to Prince 
       Hal (the future Henry V), who loves him, goads, him, 
       teases him, indulges his vast appetites, and commits all 
       sorts of mischief with him--some innocent, some cruel. 
       Falstaff can be lewd, funny, careless of others, a bad 
       creditor, an unreliable friend, and in the end, 
       devastatingly reckless in his presumption of loyalty from 
       the new King. Award-winning author and beloved professor 
       Harold Bloom writes about Falstaff with the deepest 
       compassion and sympathy and also with unerring wisdom. He 
       uses the relationship between Falstaff and Hal to explore 
       the devastation of severed bonds and the heartbreak of 
       betrayal. Just as we encounter one type of Anna Karenina 
       or Jay Gatsby when we are young adults and another when we
       are middle-aged, Bloom writes about his own shifting 
       understanding of Falstaff over the course of his lifetime.
       Ultimately we come away with a deeper appreciation of this
       profoundly complex character, and the book as a whole 
       becomes an extraordinarily moving argument for literature 
       as a path to and a measure of our humanity. Bloom is 
       mesmerizing in the classroom, wrestling with the often 
       tragic choices Shakespeare's characters make. He delivers 
       that kind of exhilarating intimacy and clarity in Falstaff,
       inviting us to look at a character as a flawed human who 
       might live in our world. The result is deeply intimate and
       utterly compelling."--Publisher's description.
