Harold Bloom (1930-2019) was a notorious and prolific American literary critic Author of more than forty books and editor of hundreds (is no exaggeration) of anthologies of many and diverse authors and novels. In such a vast body of work, the Brontës make also an appearance. He had in great esteem the works of the three Brontës, but particularly Emily:
The three Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily Jane, and Anne—are unique literary artists whose works resemble one another’s far more than they do the works of writers before or since. Charlotte’s compelling novel Jane Eyre and her three lesser yet strong narratives—The Professor , Shirley, Villette—form the most extensive achievement of the sisters, but critics and common readers alike set even higher the one novel of Emily Jane’s, Wuthering  Heights, and a handful of her lyrical poems. Anne’s two novels—Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall  —remain highly readable, although dwarfed by  Jane Eyre and the authentic
ally sublime Wuthering Heights  (Modern Critical Interpretations: Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre by Harold Bloom, 1987)
In his vast bibliography we found a few of Brontë-related books:
