About the book

Literary critic Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon" is more than a required reading list-it is a vision. Infused with a love of learning, compelling in its arguments for a unifying written culture, it argues brilliantly against the politicization of literature and presents a guide to the great works of the western literary tradition and essential writers of the ages. "The Western Canon" was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
