Question: Who is older Harold Bloom or Wally Lamb ?
Context: School of Resentment is a term coined by critic Harold Bloom to describe related schools of literary criticism which have gained prominence in academia since the 1970s and which Bloom contends are preoccupied with political and social activism at the expense of aesthetic values. I Know This Much Is True is a novel by Wally Lamb, published in 1998.  It was featured in Oprah's Book Club in June 1998. The Anxiety of Influence: A Theory of Poetry is a 1973 book by Harold Bloom.  It was the first in a series of books that advanced a new "revisionary" or antithetical approach to literary criticism.  Bloom's central thesis is that poets are hindered in their creative process by the ambiguous relationship they necessarily maintained with precursor poets.  While admitting the influence of extraliterary experience on every poet, he argues that "the poet in a poet" is inspired to write by reading another poet's poetry and will tend to produce work that is in danger of being derivative of existing poetry, and, therefore, weak.  Because poets historically emphasize an original poetic vision in order to guarantee their survival into posterity (i.e., to guarantee that future readers will not allow them to be forgotten), the influence of precursor poets inspires a sense of anxiety in living poets.  Thus Bloom attempts to work out the process by which the small minority of 'strong' poets manage to create original work in spite of the pressure of influence.  Such an "agon", Bloom argues, depends on six revisionary ratios, which reflect Freudian and quasi-Freudian defense mechanisms, as well as the tropes of classical rhetoric. Wishin' and Hopin' is a 2014 American coming of age comedy film starring Wyatt Ralff, Molly Ringwald, Chevy Chase and Annabella Sciorra based on the novel "Wishin' and Hopin': A Christmas Story" by Wally Lamb.

Harold Bloom (born July 11, 1930) is an American literary critic and Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University.  Since the publication of his first book in 1959, Bloom has written more than forty books, including twenty books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and a novel.  He has 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. The Flight to Lucifer is a 1979 book by the American literary critic Harold Bloom.  His only novel, it was composed as a sequel to the David Lindsay 1920 novel "A Voyage to Arcturus", which supplied the concept of a voyage through space to a distant planet created by a demiurge, and a few other incidental features of the book.  However, most of its content derives fairly directly from Gnosticism, which Bloom had studied. Wally Lamb (born October 17, 1950) is an American author known as the writer of the novels "She's Come Undone" and "I Know This Much Is True", both of which were selected for Oprah's Book Club.  He was the director of the Writing Center at Norwich Free Academy in Norwich from 1989 to 1998 and has taught Creative Writing in the English Department at the University of Connecticut. She's Come Undone is a 1992 novel by Wally Lamb which was widely read after being chosen as an Oprah's Book Club selection in December 1996.  Lamb's breakthrough novel was named a finalist for the 1992 Los Angeles Book Awards' Art Seidenbaum Prize for first fiction.  Lamb's other novels include "I Know This Much Is True" and "The Hour I First Believed".  She's Come Undone has been translated into eighteen languages and is read worldwide. Nancy Lagomarsino is an American poet.  She is the author of three books of prose poems, the most recent being "Light from an Eclipse" (White Pine Press), a memoir covering the years of her father’s experience with Alzheimer’s disease.  In describing his reaction to the book, Wally Lamb wrote that ""Light from an Eclipse" is, in equal measures, heartrending and celebratory of the beauty and buoyancy of life in the face of death."  Lagomarsino has published poems in numerous magazines and journals, including "Cimarron Review, Quarterly West, The Prose Poem: An International Journal" and "Ploughshares."  Born in Montpelier, Vermont, Lagomarsino currently lives in Hanover, New Hampshire, where she and her husband David raised two sons, and have lived since 1974.  She received her B.A. in English from Northeastern University and her M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Vermont College. The American Religion: The Emergence of the Post-Christian Nation (1992; second edition 2006) is a book by literary critic Harold Bloom, in which he covers the topic of religion in the United States from a perspective which he calls "religious criticism".  Religious denominations Bloom discusses include The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Christian Science, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Southern Baptist Convention.
