Professor Harold Bloom speaks at a Jonathan Edwards Master’s Tea on his favorite past professors and well-known American author Philip Roth.
Due to illness, professor Harold Bloom GRD ’56 will not teach the two classes he was scheduled to offer this coming semester. English professor Leslie Brisman described Bloom as “gravely ill” in a Jan. 7 e-mail to students in Bloom’s fall seminar, “Shakespeare and the Canon: Histories, Comedies and Poems.”
After a long day of teaching “too many classes,” professor Harold Bloom GRD ’56 was tired. “If someone can give me another Cognac I can say something,” he told the crowd on Thursday afternoon at a Jonathan Edwards College Master’s Tea.
