Bible. English. OT. Pentateuch O. T.
The Book of J. Translated from the Hebrew by David Rosenberg. Interpreted by Harold Bloom.
Grove Weidenfeld NY c1990. 'First Edition'. First Edition. Hard Cover. 340 p. 24.5 cm. "In this audacious work of literary restoration Harold Bloom and David Rosenberg recover a lost masterpiece by a nameless writer known as J author of the oldest and most powerful stories in the Bible. Religious tradition ascribes authorship of the Pentateuch-- the first five books of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament-- to Moses but scholars agree that it is in fact a composite work consisting of texts by several different authors. The oldest of these texts running through Genesis Exodus and Numbers was written by the author whom scholars call J. Bloom and Rosenberg lift the "J" text out of the surrounding material so that it stands as the seminal classic it is. Bloom persuasively argues. that J is a writer of the stature of Homer Shakespeare and Tolstoy and on literary and psychological grounds that J was a woman. on Bloom's interpretation J is in no sense a religious writer. Rather she is a grand and fierce ironist with an unmatched power of characterization. But J's supreme literary creation is her Yahweh an exuberant capricious vitalist. a far cry from the fatherly remote Jehovah superimposed by R and other editors. J's language leaps from the page. inventive punning playful uncanny and finally sublime. .She is an immense literary imaginer one of the most stunning writers of her own or any time." Dj; VG. stock#22123. Grove Weidenfeld, NY [c1990]. 'First Edition' hardcover
