Resumen
Bloom (humanities, Yale U. and English, New York University) offers critiques profiling 100 of the most creative literary minds in history based on his selections after a half-century of teaching literature. The critiques average several pages in length, beginning with illuminating excerpts from Blooms chosen geniuses ranging from Milton to Melville, and Dickinson to Socrates. Through his critiques Bloom explores parallels between his chosen geniuses and ways in which they have influenced one another. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
