He leads us through the labyrinthine paths woven by the writers and critics who have inspired and inspired him over the years, posing a lasting reflection on life with the Western canon: Why am I so obsessed with questions of influence? How do my reading experiences shape my thinking? Why do some poems resonate with me and others not? What is the purpose of literary life? Through the analysis of Bloom's favorite literary masters such as Shakespeare, Whitman, Emerson, Yeats, etc., This book reveals to us: What are great literary works? How did it become so great and why is it so important?
