Epic
About This Novel
Bloom regards confrontational heroism as the core feature of "epic" works, breaks through the classification norms of traditional styles, and incorporates many epic works in world literature into the overall critical framework of this book, including "The Iliad", "The Odyssey", and "Beowulf". " And other traditional epic poems, as well as classic long poems full of heroic spirit such as "The Canterbury Tales", "Paradise Lost", and "The Waste Land", as well as ambitious prose works such as "Moby-Dick", "War and Peace", and "Ulysses", as well as "The Tale of Genji" from the East. Through careful reading of the text and sorting out the relationship between writers, Bloom extracted a rather unique epic tradition, that is, the process in which younger writers and older writers continue to engage in confrontational competition through texts in the long history, get rid of "anxiety of influence" and create their own style.
