Concentrating on twenty-six writers, he places Shakespeare at the centre of the western canon seeing him as the touchstone for all writers who have come before and after him: Milton, Johnson, Goethe, Joyce, and Beckett were all indebted to him; while Dante, Wordsworth, Austen, Dickens, Whitman, and Proust are exquisite examples of how canonical writing is born of originality fused with tradition. Bloom's analyses are without exception, original and exuberant, forcing us to read in a new way and, above all, persuading us to love our reading.
