You need to be at least two toes deep into the canon before reading Bloom.

He gives good reviews. You could get to know a work before diving into any of them, or rejecting any if they don’t appeal to you.

Visionary Company's a good introduction to the major English Romantic poets. May even inspire one to read them.

Bloom regrets this so much, admitted it was awful. Fiction writing and criticism are two different kinds of clay, and aesthetics is only one piece of the fictional pie, which Bloom is hardly able to accomplish in any genre of writing.
