Admit it: he’d be /lit/‘s hero if it wasn’t for the fact he was (((one)))

Didn't know that but thankyou for pointing that out. Will never read him then.

He was a non-reading fraud so yeah probably. Only difference is that he was actually aware of more than ~5-10 pre-Romantic authors (as opposed to philosophers), whether he read them or not.

He hated the Jewish/Semitic influence on literature, though, that's what his entire problem with modern American literature was. He hated the neuroticism and navel-gazing that took over American letters. Bloom was the most powerful sort of man of letters: the self-hating Jew. Like Spinoza.

His Jewishness was his only good quality

his jewishness did not interfere with his criticism much

Did he not describe himself as a culturally Jewish gnostic? I guess that could describe 90% of Americans these days

Sir, this is a Harry Potter board.

Most of culture is driven by Jewish influence. Most people are not materialists, believe in some sort of objective good, and see their body as entirely separate from their true being

I haven't read much of his criticism, just brief snippets here and there found in introductions and whatnot, but my experience with him has been pretty negative. He seems to ramble on and on without saying much of anything at all and I don't believe that he read as quickly or as much as he claimed. He seems to be a fairly well respected scholar of Shakespeare, but outside of that it seems people just like him for his "school of resentment" criticism, but he was not the first to raise such concerns, nor is he the last.
