The West Canon is the most famous and probably the most polemic book of Harold Bloom (b. 1930), Sterling professor of Yale University, the famous American critic and literary critic. Bloom passionately protects the autonomy of aesthetic value and the need for a canon in the face of a "resentment school" - those cultural trends that have become almost unquestioned since the first publication of the book (1994) Developing the concepts of “fear of influence” and "creative distortion" formulated in his other books, Bloom tells about the twenty -six main authors of the Western world (from Dante to Tolstoy, from Goethe to Beckett, from Dikinson to Neuruda), and in the very center of the canon places Shakespeare who, as the researcher believes, largely created us all.
