A Map of Misreading (Galaxy Books)
"In the field of literary criticism the most potentially influential book published in the last twelve months is surely Harold Bloom's A Map of Misreading"--Margaret Wimsatt, Commonweal"The sincerity of this book...the sheer care for poetry which governs both this work and its predecessor, is unmistakable and most impressive."--Michael Wood, The New York Review of Books"An exceptionally subtle and complex work."--Kenneth Burke, The New Republic"Bloom is the most rare of critics.  He has what seems to be a totally detailed command of English poetry and its scholarship....Because of his entirely gripping theoretical passion his readings are almost unparalleled in skill and thematic nuance."--Edward Said, The New York Times Book Review
