Скачать или смотреть Western Canon by Harold Bloom (1994)- Aristocratic Age

List of books in the Western Canon (1994) by American literary critic Harold Bloom. Here is the Aristocratic Age as he described in the book:

"It is a span of five hundred years from Dante's Divine Comedy through Goethe's Faust, Part Two, an era that gives us a huge body of reading in five major literatures: Italian, Spanish, English, French, and German. In this and in the remaining lists, I sometimes do not mention individual works by a canonical master, and in other instances I attempt to call attention to authors and books that I consider canonical but rather neglected. From this list onward, many good writers who are not central are omitted. We begin also to encounter the phenomenon of "period pieces," a sorrow that expands in the Democratic Age and threaten to choke us in our own century. Writers much esteem in their own time and country sometimes survive in other times and nations, yet shrink in once fashionable fetishes. I behold at least several scores of these in our contemporary literary scene, but it s sufficient to name them by omission, and I will address this matter more fully in the introductory note of my final list."
