ISBN10: 0684859068, ISBN13: 9780684859064, [publisher: New York City, NY: Scribner, 2000] Hardcover First Edition 1st Printing. Signed. 283 pages. Published in 2000. 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. In our toxic Social Media Age, some people still read for two reasons: Because it offers deep, cathartic pleasure, and because it compels inwardness, the necessarily isolated, private examination and reflection about oneself. Some Modern philosophers called it the inner life. The Ancient Greeks called it the examined life, and deemed it ...

New York: Scribner's, Date: 2000. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy in a very good plus jacket (price-clipped). Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom begins 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. Now, at a time when faster and easier electronic media threatens to eclipse the practice of reading, Bloom draws on his experience as critic, teacher, and prolific reader to plumb the great books for their sustaining wisdom. 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. His ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book. 2000. Scribner's ISBN 0684859068 US

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, ...

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.
