Harold Bloom 聚焦处于 Canon 核心的26位作家的作品，探讨了西方文学传统。他反对文学批评中的意识形态化，哀叹智识与审美标准的丧失，并抨击多元文化主义、Marxism、feminism、neoconservatism、Afrocentrism 以及 New Historicism。Bloom 坚持“审美的自主性”，将 Shakespeare 置于 Western Canon 的核心。无论是剧作家、诗人还是故事创作者，Shakespeare 都已成为其前后所有作家的试金石。在创

……人一旦死了，针对他们的坏话就再也伤不到他们了。诽谤法也遵循同样的原则。倒不是我想说 Harold Bloom 的坏话。我只通过读《西方正典》（The Western Canon）了解过他，我觉得那本书读起来受益匪浅；另外就是他对《哈利·波特》狂热现象的不屑，在这点上我深有同感。
…someone is dead they can no longer be hurt by anything bad said about them. Defamation law also follows the same principle. Not that I want to speak ill of Harold Bloom. I only knew him through reading The Western Canon, which I found a very rewarding read, and for his disdain for the Harry Potter mania, where I felt the same way.
……可能会选 Spivak 等等。随着你接近某个领域的最前沿（state-of-the-art），这可能会变得更难，但到那时候，“接下来读什么”往往来自于期刊，而不是一本书了。文学和诗歌？Harold Bloom 的西方正典书单，无论有多少毛病，都他妈写得相当牛逼，够一个人忙活一辈子了。如果你想融入更多比如女性作品或更多亚洲作品之类的，也有非常不错的书单供你参考，……
…Probably get Spivak. Et c. This might get tougher as you approach a field's state-of-the-art, but by then "what to read next" will often come from a journal, not a book. Literature and verse? Harold Bloom's western canon list, whatever its faults, is pretty damn good and could keep one busy for a lifetime. If you want to mix in more works by e.g. women or more asian works or whatever, there are very good lists for that,…

Harold Bloom 在他 1994 年的《西方正典》（The Western Canon）中提出的问题是：既然阅读时间有限，我们就应当明智地选择。一个优秀的文学评论家能帮上忙，而《西方正典》就是一个极佳的例子。https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/136-9956209-9412407?...
The problem that Harold Bloom frames in his 1994 The Western Canon is that with a finite amount of time to read, we ought to choose wisely. A good literary critic helps with that, and The Western Canon is a great example. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/136-9956209-9412407?...
……“《芬尼根的守灵夜》的结尾，垂死的安娜·利维亚——兼具母亲、妻子与河流三重身份——的独白，经常且当之无愧地被评论家们尊为乔伊斯所有作品中最优美的段落。”——Harold Bloom，《西方正典：乔伊斯与莎士比亚的角力》（The Western Canon: Joyce's Agon with Shakespeare）。
…"The end of Finnegans Wake, the monologue of the dying Anna Livia-mother, wife, and river-is frequently and rightly esteemed by critics as the most beautiful passage in all of Joyce."— Harold Bloom, The Western Canon: Joyce's Agon with Shakespeare.
这么多年来虽然挨了不少喷，但从 Bloom 在《西方正典》（The Western Canon）附录里的书单（如果我没记错的话，是在出版商的要求下有点不情愿地整理出来的）中随手挑一本，几乎都很难踩雷。Adler 的《如何阅读一本书》（How to Read a Book）末尾还有另一份相当不错的书单，涵盖了更多科普写作等内容。Bloom 的：http://sonic.net/~rteeter/grtbloom.html Adler 的：http://sonic.net/~rteeter/grtadler.html…
It's caught some shit over the years, but it's hard to go wrong picking almost anything off Bloom's (IIRC somewhat reluctantly-compiled, at the request of the publisher) list from the appendices of The Western Canon. There's another pretty good one, that includes more science writing and such, at the end of Adler's How to Read a Book.
