Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom begins this impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well. For more than forty years, Bloom has transformed college students into lifelong readers with his unrivaled love for literature. Now, at a time when faster and easier electronic media threatens to eclipse the practice of reading, Bloom draws on his experience as critic, teacher, and prolific reader to plumb the great books for their sustaining wisdom. Shedding all polemic, Bloom addresses the solitary reader, who, he urges, should read for the purest of all reasons: to discover and augment the self. His ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book.
Bloom is a literary critic, and currently a Sterling Professor of the Humanities at Yale University. Since the publication of his first book in 1959, Bloom has written more than 20 books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and one novel. He has edited hundreds of anthologies.
文学批评家哈罗德•布鲁姆是一个执着的老人,他对莎士比亚的热爱超出了一般人的想象,在其批评体系中,莎士比亚覆盖着整个天空,洞穿了所有的认知;因之,布鲁姆为这位文学巨擘写就的研究著作,其书名直接将“莎士比亚”等同于“人的发明”。有着如此的热爱,在新书《如何...
评分在西方文学研究界,哈罗德•布鲁姆是个十足的异类,一方面,他列出的那些伟大的书的清单,被英国批评家约翰•凯里讥讽为 “当然不是给人类看的,它们倒更像是发送给上帝的期末汇报,好让他老人家看看他的人间子民们是多么具有文化修养“,把布鲁姆说得像个陈腐的学院...
评分读万卷书,走万里路只有在科技不发达的闭塞年代才有可能成立:能读万卷书,是因为竹简上刻不了几个字,万卷也没有多少内容。 而现在动辄几十数百万字的出版物,不要说读万卷,以一月精读两本书的速度,一年也仅能读24本,一生不过千余本。 不过好在当你读的越多,越知道哪些...
评分记得五年前刚刚读完《西方正典》,我在扉页上写:此书可缩减为现有篇幅的四分之一。五年后《如何读,为什么读》中译本问世,我要恭喜布鲁姆和他的读者们——他做到了。 如果说《西方正典》是布鲁姆的专题研讨课,那么《如何读,为什么读》就是他的西方文学专题欣赏课。当你读...
下午在图书馆休息,顺便拎出来看了看,老谈possession by memory,想起自己爱在嘴边背的那些诗。irony那个讲法感觉被认识的一个老师偷学走了。Housman常读常新,What are those blue remembered hills...看前言想起现在学校英语系研究生清一色gender and sexuality和African...
评分给莎氏的情诗一首又一首
评分没有人能在一本两百余页的书中写透数十位历史上最伟大的诗人和作家,布鲁姆所做的则是将自己阅读的私人感悟分享出来。勾勒所选作品的大致情节以及独特之处,是为”how to read"; 解释这些作品在莎翁的影响之下所创造出的新的价值,回答了“why to read"; 而所有谈及的书目,则是布鲁姆在书名中没有点明的"what to read".
