The great literary themes reappear continually throughout the world's literature. Bloom's Literary Themes is a new series that examines these themes as they function in classic literary works, from the Bible to the novels of Toni Morrison and Philip Roth.

The allied themes of sin and redemption are at the heart of many classics of religious literature, and even secular writers feel compelled to explore these traditional subjects. This volume contains 20 essays that explore the role of sin and redemption in such works as King Lear, Moby-Dick, Paradise Lost, The Portrait of a Lady, The Waste Land , and many others. Some essays have been written specifically for the series; others are excerpts of important critical analyses from selected books and journals.

"A literary theme, however authentic, would come to nothing without rhetorical eloquence or mastery of metaphor. But to experience the study of the common places of invention is an apt training in the apprehension of aesthetic value in poetry and in prose." - Harold Bloom
