Clean & tight copy, unread in Very Good condition; generic proof cover in robin's-egg blue; no creases in spine, no age toning on pages. No jacket as issued. "At a time when faster and easier electronic media threaten to eclipse reading and literature, Harold Bloom explores in direct terms how to read and why. Equal parts inspiration, self-help, and brilliant analysis of seminal works of literature, this empowering and practical book is geared not toward academics but toward the general reading public. It is Bloom's goal to teach readers how to immerse themselves in great literature to find what so many are searching for: a stronger conception of the self. With sections on short stories, poems, novels and plays, HOW TO READ AND WHY examines the works of such authors as Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens and William Faulkner." Pristine ARC copy, quite presentable & collectible.

First Edition/First Printing. 283 pages. Collection of critical essays on subject. His single most accessible book. The First Hardcover Edition. 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 scarce. Publisher's big, bold "Autographed Copy" blue sticker pasted in front. Presents Harold Bloom's "How To Read And Why". His passionate plea for great literature as the focus of serious reading. As such, it is, by design, his most readable - and most endearing - book: Essays that answer the "how" and "why" of the title by providing definitive examples of the "what". Harold Bloom has the simplest recipe for reading: Read the great books. Life is too short to waste on worthless bestsellers, pulp fiction, and mediocre authors. The only way one really learns how to read is by tackling head-on the most challenging works of literature.

Harold Bloom (July 11, 1930 - October 14, 2019) was an American literary critic and the Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University.

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, ...
