About this product

Product Information

"The work of great poetry is to aid us to become free artists of ourselves." -Harold Bloom In The Art of Reading Poetry , Harold Bloom gives us his critical reflections on more than a half century devoted to reading, teaching, and writing about great verse, the literary achievements he loves most, and conveys his passionate concern for how a poem should be interpreted and appreciated. By illuminating such subjects as poetic voice, metaphor and allusion, and the nature of poetic value itself, Bloom presents an invaluable learning tool as a key to artistic expression.

  • A Master Class on English Poetry

    Bloom still ranks as the premier literary critic in the United Strates and probably in all of North America. He is erudite the way a hawk is swift: He makes amazing assertions as if by instinct. Here, he explains the many thrusts of English (and American) poetry, which in his view relies primarily on figurative language. This is a good jumping-off point because it clarifies -- perhaps ironically -- why so many readers have trouble reading poetry.
