Harold Bloom, Our Preeminent Literary Critic, Essays To Explain The Meaning Of Angels In World Literaturein This Lovely Gift Book Published For The Holiday Season, Harold Bloom Again Combines His Lifelong Interests In Religion And Literature. He Begins By Observing Our Presentday Obsession With Angels, Which Reached Its Greatest Intensity As The Current Millennium Approached. For The Most Part, These Popular Angels Are Banal, Even Insipid. Bloom Is Especially Concerned With A Particular Subspecies Of Angels: Fallen Angels. He Proceeds To Examine Representations Of Fallen Angels From Zoroastrian Texts And The Bible To Miltons Paradise Lost To Tony Kushners Angels In America, Arguing That Familiarity With This Rich Literary Tradition Improves Our Reading And Spiritual Lives. Blooms Text Is Accompanied By More Than A Dozen Original Watercolors, Line Drawings, And Illuminated Letters By Awardwinning Artist Mark Podwal.Every Angel Is Terrifying, Rilke Wrote. For Bloom, Too, This Is True In One Sense, Since He Maintains That All Angels Are Fallen Angels. The Image Of Satan, The Greatest Of Fallen Angels, Retains The Ability To Fascinate And Frighten Us, He Argues, Because We Share A Close Kinship With Him. Indeed, From A Human Perspective, We Must Agree That We Are Fallen Angels. Fallenness Is Ultimately A Human Condition: The Recognition Of Our Own Mortality. Throughout World Literature Angels Have Always Served As Metaphors For Death. We May Take Consolation, However, In Our Double Awareness That Angels Also Represent Love And The Celebration Of Human Possibilities.
