SYNOPSIS
From one of the greatest Shakespeare scholars of our time, a beloved professor who has taught the Bard for over half a century—an intimate, wise, deeply compelling portrait of Lear, arguably Shakespeare’s most tragic and compelling character, the third in a series of five short books hailed as Harold Bloom’s "last love letter to the shaping spirit of his imagination" (The New York Times Book Review).
King Lear is one of the most famous and compelling characters in literature. The aged, abused monarch—a man in his eighties, like Bloom himself—is at once the consummate figure of authority and the classic example of the fall from grace and widely agreed to be Shakespeare’s most moving, tragic hero.
Award-winning writer and beloved professor Harold Bloom writes about Lear with wisdom, joy, exuberance, and compassion. He also explores his own personal relationship to the character: Just as we encounter one Anna Karenina or Jay Gatsby when we are seventeen and another when we are forty, Bloom writes about his shifting understanding—over the course of his own lifetime—of this endlessly compelling figure, so that the book also becomes an extraordinarily moving argument for literature as a path to and a measure of our humanity.
Bloom is mesmerizing in the classroom, wrestling with the often tragic choices Shakespeare’s characters make. Now he brings that insight to his "measured, thoughtful assessment of a key play in the Shakespeare canon" (Kirkus Reviews). "Lear is a "short, superb book that has a depth of observation acquired from a lifetime of study" (Publishers Weekly).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Harold Bloom
Harold Bloom (Nova Iorque, 11 de julho de 1930 – New Haven, 14 de outubro de 2019) foi um professor e crítico literário. Ocupou o cargo de "Sterling Professor" de Humanidades na Universidade Yale. Desde a publicação de seu primeiro livro em 1959, Bloom escreveu mais de quarenta livros, incluindo vinte livros de crítica literária, vários livros discutindo religião e um romance. Editou centenas de antologias sobre numerosas figuras literárias e filosóficas para a editora Chelsea House.
O professor ficou conhecido como um humanista porque sempre defendeu os poetas românticos do século XIX, mesmo num tempo em que suas reputações eram muito baixas. Foi também um crítico de livros de aventura muito imparcial, e muitos acreditavam que não tinha a mente para ser critico literário cultural, justificando-se, com razão, que tinha a "mente fechada para coisas mais fantasiosas, fantásticas e criativas".
Bloom foi um dos grandes impulsionadores contemporâneos do conceito de Cânone Ocidental.
Shakespeariano, um dos grandes defensores da chamada "bardolatria", escreveu Shakespeare - A Invenção do Humano e Hamlet - Poema Ilimitado, dois grandes ensaios sobre o bardo.
Lecionou humanidades na Universidade Yale e inglês na Universidade de Nova Iorque. Faleceu em 14 de outubro de 2019 aos 89 anos de idade.
