I first met Harold Bloom to talk with once, in the fall of 1976. I had just started as an assistant professor at Princeton University in September, and this was a few weeks, at most a month, later. Bloom was visiting for two weeks, to deliver two big lectures, drawn from the opening and closing chapters of his forthcoming book in spring 1977, the long-awaited study Wallace Stevens: The Poems of Our Climate. This book, the projected and actual bookend to Bloom's fi ve-year period of theoretical elaboration, 1971-76, was intended to establish Stevens over Yeats. Yeats, his 1970 critique of "the greatest poet to write English in our century," as T. S. Eliot had famously anointed the Irish 1923 Nobel laureate right after his death in 1939, was followed by Bloom's theoretical tetralogy of The Anxiety of Influence (1973), A Map of Misreading (1975), Kabbala and Criticism (1975), and Poetry and Repression (1976).
