The good lord bird review5/13/2023 I’m tempted to place the date at 1877, the year the US abandoned Reconstruction and well into the decades-long global freakout about revolution that came about as a result of the Paris Commune, but that’s not really something I can prove at present. It seems to me that whatever sets of filters come down to make Brown opaque came down not that long after his death, and stayed there (or got thicker). That’s not linear- writers in the late nineteenth century seem just as lost as writers in the late twentieth. It also sometimes seems that writers contemporary with Brown, both enemies and friends, maybe get somewhat closer. I can’t claim to be a John Brown scholar but I have read a fair amount about him and people really don’t know how to paint a full, communicable picture, and sometimes it seems that the closer a given writer gets, the more the real man and his real story eludes them.

Bloom invention of the human5/13/2023 He is selectively “historicist,” when the ideological cause moves him, as it does frequently in his penetrating analysis of The Merchant of Venice, where he declares, “Shylock is the first of Shakespeare’s internalized hero-villains” (11). Of course, Bloom does the same thing on occasion. In so doing, they rob the Bard of his “universal” appeal and “human” content. In the introductory chapter of his best-selling book, Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, Harold Bloom decries the hijacking of “universal” Shakespeare by “French” theorists-presumably New Historicists, feminists, and cultural materialists-who “begin with a political stance,” go on to “locate some marginal bit of English Renaissance social history” to prop up their theory, and then read the ideology back into the play (Bloom 1998, 9).
