(Não é exatamente um artigo, mas tudo bem, não achei outro lugar. Eu queria dividir com vocês sobretudo essa parte relativa ao Livro de J.)
Harold Bloom
(b. 1930) was born in New York City, earned his B.A. at Cornell, received his Ph.D. from Yale in 1955, and has been a member of the Yale faculty since then. Bloom s theories of poetic misprision and anxiety have changed how critics think about literary tradition. After shaking up traditional notions of literary history in his "revision" tetralogy, Bloom defended the objects of traditional history in The Western Canon (1994).
Most recently he has turned to studying the Bible and religion. In The Book of J (1990), Bloom identifies the author of the J-text, the oldest strand of narrative in Genesis, Exodus, and Numbers, as a woman. The book has sold millions of copies but has been scorned by biblical scholars, less for its wild speculations than its defective understanding of Hebrew text. Bloom s latest pronouncements on religion are contained in The American Religion: The Emergence of the Post-Christian Nation (1992) and Omens of Millennium: The Gnosis of Angels, Dreams, and Resurrection (1996).
