Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Katherine Newbegin (Author Photograph) (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. 283, [5] pages. Signed by the author on the title page. Includes Preface and Prologue: Why Read? Contains sections on Short Stories; Poems; Novels, Part 1; Plays; and Novels Part 2. Also contains an Epilogue: Completing the Work. Harold Bloom (July 11, 1930 - October 14, 2019) was an American literary critic and the Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University. He is often cited as the most influential English-language critic of the late 20th century. Following the publication of his first book in 1959, Bloom wrote more than 50 books, including 20 books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and a novel. During his lifetime, he edited hundreds of anthologies concerning numerous literary and philosophical figures for the Chelsea House publishing firm. Bloom's books have been translated into more than 40 languages. Bloom was a defender of the traditional Western canon at a time when literary departments were focusing on what he derided as the "school of resentment" (multiculturalists, feminists, Marxists, neoconservatives, and others). He was educated at Yale University, the University of Cambridge, and Cornell University. Bloom was a member of the Yale English Department from 1955 to 2019, teaching his final class four days before his death. He received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1985. From 1988 to 2004, Bloom was Berg Professor of English at New York University while maintaining his position at Yale. In 2010, he became a founding patron of Ralston College, a new institution in Savannah, Georgia, which focuses on primary texts. "Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom commences this impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well. For more than forty years, Bloom has transformed college students into lifelong readers with his unrivaled love for literature. Shedding all polemic, Bloom addresses the solitary reader, who, he urges, should read for the purest of all reasons: to discover and augment the self. Always dazzling in his ability to draw connections between texts across continents and centuries, Bloom instructs readers in how to immerse themselves in the different literary forms. Probing discussions of the works of beloved writers such as William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens, and William Faulkner highlight the varied challenges and delights found in short stories, poems, novels, and plays. Bloom not only provides illuminating guidance on how to read a text but also illustrates what such reading can bring--aesthic pleasure, increased individuality and self-knowledge, and the lifetime companionship of the most engaging and complex literary characters. Derived from a Kirkus review: The prolific critic Bloom has courted controversy in the last few years with his denunciations of the politically correct "School of Resentment" that now dominates most universities-and he has not been discreet in his attacks on many of the writers that this school holds in highest esteem. Here, he carries his arguments to an even more fundamental level, demanding that we consider what the point and purpose of literature can be in an age where information has gone far beyond the verbal forms in which literature subsides. "Information is endlessly available to us," he points out, "where shall wisdom be found?" Naturally, Bloom finds it in the great writers of the Western tradition, and he proceeds to tell us just how great they are-and why. Bloom's insights into just about anything can be worth all of his postures.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 240 pages. Published in 1979. Rare Harold Bloom and David Lindsay collectible set. A very near-fine copy of "A Voyage To Arcturus" 1968 Ballantine First Softcover Edition, rare in its First Printing and in this condition, with a fine copy of "The Flight To Lucifer: A Gnostic Fantasy" First Hardcover Edition, signed by Harold Bloom. The author's debut and only novel. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Harold Bloom's "The Flight To Lucifer: A Gnostic Fantasy". An epic set in another world, where time has been arrested and where the conflicts of the ancient world still prevail. The animating idea of Gnosticism is the problem of evil because orthodox religion has never been able to address it satisfactorily. Bloom's insight - that what we have in America is an anti-materialistic, Gnostic religion (fully examined in his great book, "The American Religion") - is given narrative expression in his otherworldly fantasy. It is wholly, not just partly, inspired by David Lindsay's "A Voyage To Arcturus", and is his attempt to re-write the latter. Bloom subsequently reaffirmed the superior literary quality and achievement of Lindsay's novel as compared to his only literary endeavor. It is therefore fitting that a copy of "A Voyage To Arcturus" comes with and completes this set, for comparison and illumination. First published in 1920, it was an abject commercial failure that has since been re-discovered to ecstatic praise: "The greatest novel of the twentieth century" (Colin Wilson). Another great Gnostic novelist sums up Lindsay and Bloom succinctly: "How can there be such monstrousness in the world if a Good God created it? The answer is that there is not one Creator but two. The true God is concealed in His realm of light. The affairs of the material world are handled by the secondary Creator God, the Demiurge. The Demiurge is powerful and bars humanity's way to its true purpose. He is the jailer who holds us all captive in the prison of matter. Only escape from the prison of the body leads the soul into the otherworldly realm of light. At most, sparks of this light are scattered in the material world" (Vladimir Nabokov). An absolute "must-have" set for Harold Bloom and David Lindsay collectors. This copy of "The Flight To Lucifer" is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Harold Bloom. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It comes with a near-fine and rare copy of David Lindsay's "A Voyage To Arcturus" 1968 Ballantine First Softcover Edition/First Printing, upon which Bloom's novel is based. As far as we know, this is the only set available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare set thus. Two of the greatest literary figures of the Modern Age. A fine collectible set. (SEE ALSO OTHER HAROLD BLOOM TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0374156441. Signed by Author.
