FIRST EDITION of Harold Bloom's first book, Orange cloth with gilt lettering on spine, 8vo, x, 279pp, index, in dust jacket. Author's first book. Publisher's "This book, a pioneer work deriving much from the thought of Northrop Frye and Martin Buber, finds in Shelley's poetry the governing dialectic in which he expressed man's alternate confrontation and experience of the world. Taking the making and unmaking of this myth of relationship as it occurs in such poems as Mont Blanc, Ode to the West Wind, Prometheus Unbound, The Witch of Atlas, Epipsychidion, and The Triumph of Life, Mr. Bloom has produced both a new defense of Shelley's poetry and a sustained attack on the hostile "new critics" and those scholars who have seen these poems as thought dressed in images. He has also examined Shelley's work in relation to the poems of Blake, Wordsworth, and Coleridge, and the general tradition of English visionary poetry on the other--from Spencer and Milton through the Romantics to Yeats." Yale Studies in English, 141.
