'Literary criticism, as I attempt to practice it', writes Harold Bloom in "The Anatomy of Influence", 'is in the first place literary, that is to say, personal and passionate'. For more than half a century, Bloom has shared his profound knowledge of the written word with students and readers. In this, his most comprehensive and accessible study of influence, Bloom leads us through the labyrinthine paths which link the writers and critics who have informed and inspired him for so many years. The result is 'a critical self-portrait', a sustained meditation on a life lived with and through the great works of the Western canon: Why has influence been my lifelong obsessive concern? Why have certain writers found me and not others? What is the end of a literary life? Featuring extended analyses of Bloom's most cherished poets - Shakespeare, Whitman, and Crane - as well as inspired appreciations of Emerson, Tennyson, Browning, yeats, Ashbery, and others, "The Anatomy of Influence" adapts Bloom's classic work "The Anxiety of Influence" to show us what great literature is, how it comes to be, and why it matters. Each chapter maps startling new literary connections that suddenly seem inevitable once Bloom has shown us how to listen and to read. A fierce and intimate appreciation of the art of literature on a scale that the author will not again attempt, "The Anatomy of Influence" follows the sublime works it studies, inspiring the reader with a sense of something ever more about to be.

We all fear loneliness, madness, dying. Shakespeare and Walt Whitman, Leopardi and Hart Crane will not cure those fears. And yet these poets bring us fire and light. (查看原文)

“The Anatomy of Influence” is Bloom’s effort — his last, he says — to recalibrate his great theory, only shorn of its “gnomic” obscurities and written in “a subtler language that will construe my earlier commentary for the general reader and reflect...

布鲁姆的swan song， 收山之作！！！ 虽然我对他总有很多保留，但这样一个人总结一生所学所感的一本著作是值得一读的。。见书如见人，可批评不舍弃

B教授80岁了，还在念念不忘地谈论乔伊斯-但丁-莎士比亚-弥尔顿，有一些悲壮的局促，又有一些不朽的从容……

去年申请季拖延时读的书，看到Stoner里关于莎士比亚的讨论想起来。另外，Stoner对Lomax的失败与Harold Bloom在耶鲁文学系的孤立十分相似。他们的抵抗失败了，又或者说，他们的抵抗后继无人，自行衰亡了。后来者多是轻视文脉，站在激情的立场上明目张胆的傲慢者，而在一定程度上我也属于这后来者，也因此Harold Bloom读起来像游历古战场，看折戟沉沙，读阵亡人墓碑后的印记。
