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.　　

　　哈罗德·布鲁姆，1930年出生于纽约，先后就读于康奈尔大学和耶鲁大学，1955年起在耶鲁大学任教。早期研究浪漫主义诗歌，曾出版过论布莱克、雪莱、叶芝、斯蒂文斯等英美诗人的专著。除先前提到《影响的焦虑》、《西方正典》之外，他还著有《误读之图》、《卡巴拉犹太神秘哲学与批评》、《诗与隐抑》以及即将出版的新作《耶稣和亚维：神圣之名》（Jesus and Yahweh：The Names Divine）。作为一个批评家，布鲁姆主要研究领域包括诗歌批评、理论批评和宗教批评三大方面，而英国浪漫主义诗歌、后期弗洛伊德的精神分析理论和犹太教的诺斯替主义与喀巴拉主义则是这些批评的主要对象。在美国，布鲁姆绝对算得上是一个大牌的学者和批评家。他以其独特的理论建构和批评实践被誉为是“西方传统中最有天赋、最有原创性和最具煽动性的一位文学批评家”。
