And, who cares. One could structure a course on Romanticism and its critics
around two works, one by Eliot and one by Bloom. Take Tradition and the
Individual Talent and compare & contrast it with The Axiety of Influence

men, the authors, their biographies and contexts--including the influence
of anti-Semitism on each.
