Author : Harold Bloom

Harold Bloom was an esteemed American literary critic and the Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University, renowned as one of the most distinguished literary critics in the English-speaking world. Having published his first book in 1959, Bloom authored over 50 works, including more than 40 volumes of literary criticism, alongside studies on religion and a novel. He also edited numerous anthologies on various literary and philosophical figures through Chelsea House. Bloom's influential writings have been translated into more than 40 languages, and in 1995, he was elected to the American Philosophical Society. A staunch advocate for the traditional Western literary canon, he often challenged what he termed the "school of resentment," which included emerging critical perspectives in literature. He pursued his education at Yale University, the University of Cambridge, and Cornell University.
