Harold Bloom's Western Canon is a book that argues for a core curriculum of Western literature. This web page provides a comprehensive list of the works that Bloom includes in each historical period, from the ancient Near East to the 20th century.
The Western Canon is tightly focused on only 26 authors, but in a series of four appendices, Bloom lists the hundreds of other names he considers canonical. For all of Bloom’s ornery defensiveness, his list is surprisingly inclusive, as well as—for Fruman—surprisingly idiosyncratic.
Perhaps Bloom’s greatest legacy is his passion for poetry and literature of other types too. This is reflected in his best-known work, The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages (1994), which rejects the multiculturalism prevalent in late 20th-century academia.
