Harold Bloom

Bloom defended 19th-century Romantic poets at a time when their reputations stood at a low ebb, has constructed controversial theories of poetic influence, and advocates an aesthetic approach to literature against Feminist, Marxist, New Historicist, Post-modernist (Deconstructionists and Semioticians), and other methods of academic literary criticism. Bloom is currently a Sterling Professor of the Humanities at Yale University.[1]
