A paperback original, Bloom's stand-alone introduction to "The
Best Poems of the English Language."
A notable feature of Harold Bloom's poetry anthology "The Best
Poems English Language" is his lengthy introductory essay, here
reprinted as a separate book. For the first time Bloom gives his
readers an elegant guide to reading poetry--a master critic's
distillation of a lifetime of teaching and criticism. He tackles
such subjects as poetic voice, the nature of metaphor and allusion,
and the nature of poetic value itself. Bloom writes "the work of
great poetry is to aid us to become free artists of ourselves."
This essay is an invaluable guide to poetry.
This edition will also include a recommended reading list of
poems.
