Harold Bloom (Routledge Revivals)

Harold Bloom's literary criticism since the 1960s has established a distinctive poetic theory, particularly following the release of The Anxiety of Influence. This work, first published in 1988, explores Bloom's departure from mainstream critical trends like psychoanalysis and post-structuralism. It delves into the nature of rhetoric in poetry and poetic theory, amplifying Bloom's insights and offering a comprehensive engagement with his unique approach to literary criticism.
