In recent years, along with his writings unceasing introduction, his theoryof misreading is also brought to our country theorists attention. But opposite to theinfluence of Bloom's theory, our country theorists lack relatively to his theoryresearch. This article will draw up the theory of Bloom and carry on the system theintroduction and the discussion, is rich domestically the theory to Broome theresearch.First, introductory remarks. Briefly introduced the Broome biography experienceas well as its fundamental research, and carry on the certain division to hisfundamental research according to the time and the subject. At the same timeintroduced the domestic and foreign research present situation, mainly is the domesticresearch. This article with emphasis will place to the content of the theory, the theoryorigin as well as with sets at Deconstruction, accepts esthetics theory aspect and so ondifference carries on the certain discussion, will point out its distinctive quality.Second, the summery of Bloom's theory of misreading . the theory of Bloomihere will be carride on the relative integrity but the system outline. Bloom thoughtin the poetry history, speaking of the long in coming later generation poet, the seniorpoet came the nature in the time enable the senior poet first and first to occupy thepoetry imagination space, from this later generation poets then was at the passiveposition. At the same time the senior poet's great poem also gave the later generationthe poet to bring the certain influence, but this kind of influence in Broome lookedlike has suffocated the later generation poet's creativity, from this caused the latergeneration poets to produce to oneself poetry whether could obtain in the poetryhistory the status to produce has been anxious. The later generation poets in order toobtain oneself poetry the right to subsistence, passes the fault to read unceasinglycarries on the revolt to the senior. But has the creative great poetry is the latergeneration poets the result which by mistake read unceasingly to the senior poeticcomposition.Third, Bloom's misreading theory of the key concept and the theory origin.Bloom's misreading theory passes through several cores concept, but each conceptproposed also has respective theory origin. 1st, Bloom absorbs the Vico's and Floyd'sthought, recarefully examines with the appraisal tradition view and the influence view,pointed out the tradition and the influence no longer is merely the senior poet richlypresents to the later generation poet, but is one kind of possibility causes the fatal bogwhich the later generation poet died. The influence produces anxious forces the latergeneration poets to carry on in some kind of significance to the senior poet to read bymistake. 2nd, Bloom's text view. Bloom is set at Deconstruction ideological trendinfluence, thought literature text itself has the very strong rhetoric, is filling the image,the symbol, the fable and so on, is easy to have the different meanings, thus causes tobe clear about, stably, the sole significance becomes the fantasy. The text significancedeterminism by mistake did not read for the later generation poets to the senior poethas provided the possibility. 3rd, Bloom name the method of misreading six "therevision ratio", namely " clinamen ", " tessera ", " kenosis ", " daemonization ", "askesis ", " apophrades ". Through these six revisions ratio, misreading can realize.Compares the rhetoric with these six revisions which corresponds is: Irony,Synecdoche, Metonymy, Hyperbole or litotes, Metaphor, Metalepsis.Bloom relatesthe two and Floyd's psychic mechanism, thoroughly has discussed the operation waywhich reads by mistake. 4th, Bloom in the research of misreading has alsoexplained the literature history viewpoint which isrelated to the theory of misreading.He believed that, the history of literature is the later generation poets by mistake readsthe senior poet's history unceasingly, also is fills the fight gunsmoke the battlefield.His this literature history viewpoint closely is relating mutually with the subjectintertexuality thought.Fourth, Bloom's misreading theory of the distinctive quality. This article sets atDeconstruction and acception theory to compare analyzes its distinctive quality. 1st,the reader responded the theory thought the work needs reader's participation onlythen to be able to complete. Different reader regarding text understanding becauseeach one locates the time as well as the experience, the angle of view and so ondifferent but is different. What but Bloom emphasized is has sense of purpose readsby mistake to the senior poet work. He reads is not by mistake for completes the workthe process, but is for obtains the fight which the imagination space carries on. 2nd,with sets at variance the principle denial humanities differently, Bloom reads in theacknowledgement text significance is not in by mistake a foundation which any readeron is subjective can control, emphasized the literary criticism humanities moralcharacter, takes human's.Fifth, Bloom's misreading theory of the significance and the insufficiency.Bloom's misreading theory to the Contemporary China theorists to say by mistake hasfunction which offers a few ordinary introductory remarks so that others may offertheir valuable ideas, he gave us a new angle of view to carefully examine the Chinesetradition theory. At the same time, also processes the culture for us the difference, hasprovided the certain help. Certainly, Bloom's theory also have his insufficiency bymistake, namely in the certain degree neglected the literature to inherit positive oneside, neglected the text the objectivity and the reading objectivity. At the same time,the history of literature has also received other each aspects restrictions, but hisliterature history viewpoint to this point proof then is relatively weak.
