The life of the character
Harold bloom studied at Cornell University and Yale University successively, and received his doctorate. 1955 has been teaching at Yale university. Early romantic poetry research published monographs on British and American poets, such as Blake, Shelley, Ye Zhi and Stevens.

In the early 1970s, he turned to the study of general literary theory, and was called the four major critics of Yale together with De Man, Hartman and Miller. He updated his understanding of literary tradition with the anxiety theory of poetry misunderstanding and influence. After 1990s, he turned to Bible and religious studies.

After 1990s, Bloom turned to study the Bible and religion, and became famous in the debate on American classic literature in the early 1990s.
