Author: BLOOM, HAROLD
“To read Bloom’s insights here is to bask in the emanation of genius. As entertaining and erudite as his choices of the works he most loves are, the book’s overriding strength is the guidance it gives, in context and comprehension.”
– Baltimore Sun
This comprehensive anthology offers renowned critic Harold Bloom’s choice of the best of six centuries of great British and American poetry, selected in accordance with his three absolute criteria:
- Aesthetic splendour
- Intellectual power
- Wisdom
In Bloom’s introductory essay, “The Art of Reading Poetry,” he presents his critical reflections on more than half a century devoted to reading, teaching, and writing about great verse—the literary achievement he loves most.
Throughout this volume, Bloom includes extensive introductions to each poet and to many of the individual poems.
More than any other anthology, this book provides readers who desire the pleasures of sublime art with nearly everything they need in a single volume.
