Novelists And Novels by Harold Bloom

A compact, opinionated collection of critical essays that offers close readings and personal evaluations of major novelists, arguing for a canon defined by aesthetic excellence, imaginative intensity, and the writer’s originality while challenging prevailing academic fashions; the book emphasizes the psychological and intertextual dynamics of influence among authors and defends literature’s highest imaginative achievements through lively judgment and interpretive authority.
