哈罗德·布鲁姆(1930— ),当代美国著名文学教授、“耶鲁学派”批评家、文学理论家。曾执教于耶鲁大学、纽约大学和哈佛大学等知名高校。主要研究领域包括诗歌批评、理论批评和宗教批评三大方面,代表作有《影响的焦虑》(1973)、《误读之图》(1975)、《西方正典》(1994)、《莎士比亚:人的发明》(1998)等,以其独特的理论建构和批评实践被誉为“西方传统中最有天赋、最有原创性和最有煽动性的一位文学批评家”。
"Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom commences 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 threaten 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. Always dazzling in his ability to draw connections between texts across continents and centuries, Bloom instructs readers in how to immerse themselves in the different literary forms.
Probing discussions of the works of beloved writers such as William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens, and William Faulkner highlight the varied challenges and delights found in short stories, poems, novels, and plays. Bloom not only provides illuminating guidance on how to read a text but also illustrates what such reading can bring -- aesthetic pleasure, increased individuality and selfknowledge, and the lifetime companionship of the most engaging and complex literary characters.
Bloom's engaging prose and brilliant insights will send you hurrying back to old favorites and entice you to discover new ones. His ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book.
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...
评分文学批评家哈罗德•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...
评分确实很多细节阐释,但是只有琐碎没有美感,可能是因为几乎全在用作品评作品,太高冷;而且如此殚尽竭虑用莎士比亚解释所有文学,不也是一种宏大叙事吗?
评分看看Bloom推荐的书挺好的,但首先这个书单无甚新意,其次Bloom这本书的书名很误导群众,最后他的criticism听起来是为自己而非为读者写的。
