Reading, Writing and the Influence of Harold Bloom
This book takes the work of the world’s best-known living literary critic and discovers what it is like to read "with," "against" and "beyond" his ideas. The editors, Alan Rawes and Jonathon Shears, introduce the collection by assessing the impact of Bloom’s brand of agonistic criticism on literary critics and its ongoing relevance to a discipline attempting to redefine and settle on its collective goals. Firmly grounded in, though not confined to, Bloom’s first specialism of Romantic Studies, the volume contains essays that examine Bloom’s debts to high Romanticism, his quarrels with feminism, his resistance to historicism, the tensions with the "Yale School" and his recent work on Shakespeare and genius. Crucially, chapters are also devoted to putting Bloom’s anxiety-themed ratios into practice on the poetry of Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats and D. H. Lawrence, among others. The Harold Bloom that emerges from this collection is by turns divisive and unifying, marginalized and central, radical and conservative.

“No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists.” —T. S. Eliot, “Tradition and the Individual Talent”, 1921 Bloomsbury Influences is an interdisciplinary essay collection developed from papers given at Bath Spa University’s Bloomsbury Adaptations Conference. The volume explores the ways that 20th and 21st century art, drama, fiction and philosophy have been influenced and inspired by the work of the Bloomsbury Group and their London milieu. By comparing and contrasting the artistic, philosophical and literary works of the Bloomsbury Group with later artists, writers and thinkers, such as the Singh Twins, Harold Bloom, C. K. Stead, Jeanette Winterson and Ali Smith, amongst many others, each essay examines how, in T. S. Eliot’s words, the past has been “altered by the present as much as the present is directed by the past”.
