>>25354754You too, huh?I'm almost halfway through The Western Canon and I have to admit that I don't care for his obsessive fanboying over Shakespeare (and to a much lesser extent Dante) and his smug contempt for Marxist literary analysis.
>>25354754He looks retarded. And what merit is there in being a sycophant? There would be something to respect about him, were he someone who writes his own literature rather than fawning over the creative achievements of others.
>>25354754>listening to someone that straight up lies in his reviews>listening to someone that claims to read and retain 500 pages a day
>>25354781Shakespeare is based and Marxism is gay.
>>25354781>and his smug contempt for Marxist literary analysis.Marxist literary analysis in cancerous but otherwise I agree. I'm a Shakes fanboy but Bloom relating fucking everything to Shakespeare is a bit much. His chapter on Milton disappointing me cause it was just proxy Shakespeare wank and how Milton was basically a lesser Shakespeare.
