This guy is an idiot. Nothing he says has any grounding in objective fact. He just gushes about how great Shakespeare is. Shakespeare *is* indeed great. But where is the insight grounded in the text? Listen to Marjorie Graber for actual analysis.

She asked for permission, but instead she got Harold Bloom

Finding a new Bloom interview is one of the joys only a few people can have. And how different and fresh this one is!

Harold was a very fascinating gentleman, after his own mold! Loved to listen to him, especially, when he was younger, as he aged and had the surgeries, he was quite difficult to have the patience to wait for his verbal gems! Thank you, Mr. Bloom for all the pleasant experiences...RIP..

This is the most based Harold bloom interview ever

It's always sad to see one play the servant to the superlative. It reeks of the desperation to grasp the ineffable.

Excellent upload. I've always thought Bloom makes a good dramatist himself, in that he gets pretty dramatic and a tad hyperbolic about praising the subjects he is passionate about, but with 8 hours to listen to I'm sure he has many good points to make.

Sapho came way before Juliet. And Shakespeare was borrowing the plot from Bandello. Interesting inerview except the typical anglo idolatry of Shakespeare, the most overrated writer ever,

When someone passes me the aux chord

When are Jews going to publicly apologize for their genocidal teachings in their book of Leviticus? Which is the source of all homophobia in Western civilization. Which is the only reason why the President of Uganda is sending all of his LGBT citizens to prison and now worse. If Jews would only publicly apologize for Leviticus perhaps he would stop. Perhaps everyone would stop. Drug Dealer's bear responsibility for the toxicity of their product. And when your genocidal teachings pollute the entire world. You should be moral enough to accept some personal responsibility for all of the human damage. Even Roman Catholic's attempt public apology for their genocidal teachings. Like their apology attempt for the Roman Catholic Teaching Of Jewish Deicide in the 195O’s. After the Holocaust which it produced. As well as Pope Francis' current attempts to apologize for the Roman Catholic Doctrine Of Discovery. When will Jews practice some Tikun Olam and help put an end to all of the suffering they have caused the LGBT population of planet Earth? Please apologize and stop all of the pain. Obviously anti-semitism is not the oldest hatred in the world. The oldest hatred in the world is clearly Jewish genocidal homophobia. And if one is LGBT there simply is no real difference between the Jewish book titled Leviticus and the German book titled Mein Kampf.💙

Charley is such a red state Christian.💙

Wasn't Paul secretly working for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original Roman Catholic Saints' members of the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original symbols used by the earliest Christians identical to those of the Flavian Dynasty? And isn’t one of the earliest iconographic symbols for Christianity, located in a catacomb, under the city of Rome, which was owned by a Flavian Princess? Weren't all of the original Jesus cult texts produced under the oversight of the Flavian Dynasty? Didn't the Flavian Dynasty posses the only remaining copy of the Hebrew Tanakh other than the Greek Septuagint translation? Isn't there Flavian typology in the Gospels? Weren't the canonical texts all back dated like the historical fiction of Gone With The Wind? Wasn't Emperor Vespasian known as the Jewish Messiah? Wasn’t Pope Clement of Rome a Flavian? Wasn't Josephus a temple whore for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't the Flavian’s, as well as Paul, descended from King Herod? There was no separation of Church and State in the Roman Empire. And Christianity is clearly a Greco-Roman hybrid form of Judaism created by the Flavian Dynasty. As an attempt to adapt, pacify, and integrate the rebellious and defiant Jews into the rest of the Greco-Roman Empire. Just like the Greeks created Hermes Trismegistus to integrate Egyptian mythology with Greek mythology.Then finally Neo-Flavian Constantine chose the Flavian family religion to be the official religion of the entire Roman Empire. In order to consolidate power in his fractured Empire. And then Eusebius edited and rewrote the history of the previous 3OO years. Destroying all contradictory evidence. It isn't history it is all simply Greco-Roman mythopoetic literature. Today it is known as Historical Fiction. “What profit hath not this fable of Christ brought us.” Pope Leo X 💙

The man was so photogenic.

Magnificent, extraordinary -Bloom

Mark 14:61-62, Jesus does indeed confirm He is the Son of God, I don't know if Bloom glossed over those verses? And the point of Jesus asking others who He is, particularly Peter in the Gospel of Mark is not because He doesn't know Himself but because He is provoking a decision.

Get him a glass of water

PS i thing that William Shakespear did find that elusive woman the perfict the British people his audience.

Ihope the lord never deprive us of you sir and the wonderfull author thang god for technology.

Magnificent

“He mixes his melancholia with his wild, ironic humour” 1:35:05

Brilliant and profound. Thank you!

The cynical part of me would say that he is glazing Shakespeare. That said, I will be humble in learning, with hopes that I in other scholars hence a similar adoration may inspire.

Some of this is disappointing. For example, he claims that Caesar’s lack of concern for his safety when going to the Senate is due to Caesar’s awareness that his death could paradoxically lead to great things - the coming to power of Augustus, his relative, who will inaugurate the rule of emperors bearing his own name Caesar. How would he know that any of this would come about rather than just assume that he will not have this great lineage of emperors bearing his name? Unfortunately Bloom is imposing in an undisciplined way his own hubristic interpretations of Shakespeare’s works.

Bloom was too polite to these dumbass religions and their fictions.

Harold Bloom sees/saw the future ... Rose just struggles to keep up

One of my favs talking about one of my favs. Great stuff.

Hero alert for posting these. Late-life Bloom has an invigorating sharpness

Titus Andronicus, a grand guignol.

This video is aaa rather extraordinary set of lectures. That is to say that I enjoy it quite dearly.

Thanks 👍🏽

Extraordinary, incredible, unrivalled... So much hyperbole. Along with overthetop assertions about Shakespeare thinking that women are superior to men esp in matters of love. From anyone else, these wd be dismissed forthwith but it is a tribute to Prof Bloom's greatness that his personal views can truly masquerade as universal ones. Enchanting video!

To the illustrious late Professor Bloom, thank you. Magnificent and inspiring presentation.

Today I'm a blessed man in finding this & will be ever more. Thank you professor Bloom.

"Ask for tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man!" Absolute tragedy strangely intensified with understatement.

I thought Vidal’s “Julian” was excellent.

Bloom was one of my teachers at Yale forty years ago. And he is still one of my teachers, through his books. For that reason I always forgive him his analysis of American politics, which puzzles me and never convinces me.

i think that he would be happy that we are still listening to him thanks because without this i wouldn't have understood a lot of things

I’m very glad that Rose is no more!

Too pompous for my taste. Stating that Hamlet or Shakespeare are "the greatest" whatever in Literature (not only English literature) is laughable. How many foreign languages did Mr. Bloom know well enough to read literary works in? I don't see any particular intelligence in Hamlet. I can interpret some into him, but present in the play I find just a self blocking prince who can't decide to act. His dilemma is not sophisticated. It's "attempt to kill Claudius or not". This is Antigone's "attempt to bury dead brother or not", but less interesting, bc Shakespeare refrains from exploring either option. Or Hector's one, "attempt to fight (invincible) Achilles or not". And no, English is NOT the lingua franca of world literature. There is no such thing. Each language with a literature has its own classical or canonical works, many of them virtually untranslatable. One needs to have an excellent mastery of Italian to be able to appreciate fully Dante. That's why people outside the English language area (most of all living humans) value Shakespeare as just another author alongside with Goethe, Racine, etc. Mr. Bloom can consider Shakespeare the greatest writer ever without having read all the others, but this doesn't make him look particularly good from where I'm standing.
