Poets and Poetry (collected Literary Criticisms of Harold Bloom)

About This Novel

This book contains Bloom's incisive reviews of fifty-six influential poets in literary history. From Petrarch in the 14th century to British and American poets such as Anne Carson in the late 20th century, to Pushkin, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Neruda and other poets in other languages, Bloom has carefully sorted out the Western poetic tradition and demonstrated the dialogue between poets and the world. Bloom incorporates Freudian and Gnostic ideas into his multi-angle analysis and introduction, always running through the concept of "anxiety of influence", emphasizing the competitive relationship between later poets and pioneers, making it an excellent guide for poetry appreciation. Introduction to the series: Since 1984, the outstanding contemporary literary critic Harold Bloom has cooperated with Chelsea Publishing House to launch an unprecedented venture: carefully selecting inspiring critical masterpieces around the works of popular Western writers, and editing and publishing thousands of critical collections of famous writers to help readers enhance their literary appreciation. Bloom admitted that in this grand undertaking of striving for comprehensiveness, he also learned a lot and learned how to write for the public; literary criticism is not only an individual's insight, but also a public undertaking. Twenty years later, he divided the introductions he wrote for these critical essays into six volumes to commemorate this quixotic adventure. These short and concise articles presented in six volumes can be regarded as the dazzling sparks of the collision between a rare genius and countless great minds in the history of literature.
