Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon"
Literary critic Harold Bloom’s controversial list of the books that shaped Western culture, from his The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages.
I have tried to list inexpensive English-language editions whenever possible. Occasionally the edition or translator will not precisely match that specified by Bloom; this seems unavoidable.
