Bloom’s Literary Themes: The Hero’s Journey (1st Edition), edited by Harold Bloom and Blake Hobby, explores one of the most enduring and universal themes in literature—the archetypal hero’s journey. Drawing from a diverse range of classic and contemporary literary works, this volume examines how characters embark on transformative quests, face trials, and emerge changed. Featuring critical essays, scholarly perspectives, and curated excerpts, the book analyzes how this theme shapes narratives across time periods and cultures, from ancient epics to modern novels. Ideal for students, educators, and literary scholars, it offers deep insight into the psychological, symbolic, and cultural significance of the hero’s path.
