      ab: The article explores the role of the first person in literary scholarship, emphasizing the author's personal engagement with texts, particularly Shakespeare. It contrasts two approaches to reading literature: one that seeks objective truth (Wissenschaft) and another that embraces personal experience and self-reflection (Narcissism). The author reflects on their own journey as a literature professor and how their experiences shape their interpretations of Shakespeare's works, arguing for the legitimacy of using personal narratives in literary analysis. The discussion includes autobiographical elements, such as familial relationships and the impact of early literary encounters, ultimately advocating for a scholarship that acknowledges the reader's subjectivity.
