Description
Amazon.com Discussed and debated, revered and reviled, Bloom's tome reinvigorates and re-examines
Western Literature, arguing against the politicization of reading. His erudite passion will encourage you to
hurry and finish his book so you can pick up Shakespeare, Austen and Dickens once again to rediscover their
original magic. In addition, his appendix listing of the 'future' canon - the books today that will be timeless
tomorrow - is sure to be the template for future debate. Read more “Heroically brave, formidably
learned… The Western Canon is a passionate demonstration of why some writers have triumphantly
escaped the oblivion in which time buries almost all human effort. It inspires hope… that what humanity has
long cherished, posterity will also.― –The New York Times Book Review 'This book is terribly
important -- if you believe that literature itself is important, quite noble -- if you believe that 'nobility' is still
a viable concept in intellectual life.' --The Boston Globe “Harold Bloomâ€s large-minded and largehearted
book about the great books has many of the virtues that it sees and shows in the works he so fiercely
admires.― –Christopher Ricks, The Washington Times “The list… is what will get all the attention,
but it is the text preceding that provides the true pleasure.― –Entertainment Weekly “[Harold Bloom]
has, in a quietly joyous fashion, the chutzpah to put his stamp on the whole of literature from Genesis to
Ashbery, rivaling the scope of hero-critics like Sainsbury or Curtius or Auerbach though more giddily
adventurous than they were… In one sense the hero of this book, as of all his books, is Bloom himself,
modestly bold, genially polemical, dogmatically opposed to dogma, carrying to much in his head and always
ready to say what he thinks about it all.― –Frank Kermode, The London Review of Books Read more See
