As an undergraduate, Dr Bloom is necessarily a pariah and unreadable. Afterward, when you actually begin to think for yourself, his words become manna and an open eye in a desert of purposely shut out methods and ridiculous interpretations whose sole credibility is an -ism. Harold Bloom has been first and foremost a teacher; SO LEARN!

He seems like such a relic these days - an elegant, library-nourished Cryptkeeper. God bless him.

@isselman2000 People will always read for higher purposes than the political. Whether they do it in the universities or not. A billion or thousands, it will not die. Bloom says in "An Elegy for the Canon" from "The Western Canon" of 1993, that "his" school of reading may go "underground" soon and lose the connection to the university English faculties, which are now being influenced and overtaken by the whimsical and petty cohort of moralist ideologies known as cultural studies. It may be better

I agrree with you. He is unique

@generalcircle Funny, he speaks very kindly of you!

Him, the 0, and successor, probably cruises trough Bloom's mind over and over. Logic, the empirical and the eternal, supposingly, is the subject matter. It is ironic that Bloom is the most ardent opposal of Deconstruction.

there are two poems read, both from stevens. btw that is bloom after all.
-
I don't think that's harold bloom.

As if I heard the poem for the first time... Wonderful!

@isselman2000 The next person to turn Otto Rank's work (as well as the story of his relationship to Rank's "father figure," Freud) into metaphors for literary creation will be the successor to HB--that, plus cribbing from Meyer Abrams and Northrop Frye and PRESTO!, the next Harold Bloom.
