The anxiety of influence
a theory of poetry
Book • 1973
In 'The Anxiety of Influence', Harold Bloom presents a theory of poetry that explores how poets are influenced by their precursors and how they strive to create original work despite this influence.
Bloom argues that poets must engage in a process of 'poetic misprision', or creative misreading, to carve out their own space in the literary canon.
The book is divided into six revisionary ratios, drawing on Freudian psychoanalysis and classical rhetoric.
