Title
Ruin the Sacred Truths: Poetry and Belief from the Bible to the Present (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Harold Bloom surveys with majestic view the literature of the West from the Old Testament to Samuel Beckett. He provocatively rereads the Yahwist (or J) writer, Jeremiah, Job, Jonah, the Iliad, the Aeneid, Dantes Divine Comedy, Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, the Henry IV plays, Paradise Lost, Blakes Milton, Wordsworths Prelude, and works by Freud, Kafka, and Beckett. In so doing, he uncovers the truth that all our attempts to call any strong work more sacred than another are merely political and social formulations. This is criticism at its best.
