"The Western Canon" redirects here, for the more general concept see Western canonThe Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages is a 1994 book by Harold Bloom on Western literature. It is his best-known book alongside The Anxiety of Influence, and was a surprise bestseller upon its release in the United States. Bloom defends the concept of the Western canon by focusing on 26 writers whom he sees as central to the canon:The book argues against what Bloom calls the "School of Resentment", in which he includes feminist literary criticism, Marxist literary criticism, Lacanians, New Historicism, Deconstructionists, and semioticians. The book also contained four appendices that listed works that at the time he considered canonical, stretching from earliest scriptures to Tony Kushner's Angels in America. Bloom would later disown the list, saying that it was written at his editor's insistence and distracted from the book's intention. Bloom took pains to distance himself from the political right, especially the neoconservative movement, who hated the book, who may have confused the author with Allan Bloom.[citation needed]
