"This excellent book has the same ambitiousness of scope as Harold Bloom's The Western Canon, the same passionate concern for and love of literature, and the same ability to illuminate familiar works with flashes of brilliant insightHart's broad perspective on Western literature gives his book a richness and depth seldom seen in literary criticism these days." Paul Cantor, University of Virginia
