  The Anxiety of Influence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While admitting the influence of extraliterary experience on every poet, he argues that "the poet in a poet" is inspired to write by reading another poet's poetry and will tend to produce work that is derivative of existing poetry, and, therefore, weak.
Conversely, he suggested that influence was not as much of a problem for such poets as Shakespeare and Ben Jonson.
He since has changed his mind, and the most recent editions of The Anxiety of Influence include a preface demonstrating that Shakespeare was troubled throughout his career by the influence of Christopher Marlowe.

 Bloom's Anxiety of Influence by Dan Geddes
Such a developmental outline of poetic misprision would be too unwieldy a thesis for all the complexities of the anxiety of influence especially as a theory of poetry for all poets.
And yet the anxiety of influence is a psychological explanation of a sort, and employs Freudian terminology.
The Covering Cherub, as symbol of the anxiety of the influence, also represents continuity with the past (a facet of the Cartesian worldview), wherein the poet cannot carve out his own imaginative space; cannot see the future as of yet undetermined; cannot create his own universive ("as Blake did").

 Anxiety of Influence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Clinamen: the poet uses his literary influence as a road map up to where he/she feels the predecessor faltered and writes new poetry, corrective poetry, as a way to use the influence of the initial poet, but create a new sense of poetry based in the faltering.
This commonality may not actually exist in the influencing poetry, however, and can be seen as an attempt to destroy the precursor's uniqueness by way of generalization.
This leads to poetry written with the influence of the predecessor, but in such a way that it is in fact different and original when placed in comparison.

 Borrowed Thought, Borrowed Verse? Patmore and E.B. Browning's Peculiar "Anxiety of Influence"
In the review cited above, the critic assumed that her work derived its influences predominately from other female writers such as Charlotte Bronte and Mrs.
Browning: "Her illusions were probably fostered by the accident that she lived and thought in one country while she used the language of another." Whereas Patmore, upset by the clear connections between Aurora Leigh and The Angel in the House, may have irrationally criticized Mrs.
Browning for her heavily influenced verse, he at least spared her from his often bitingly masculine Anglo-centrism which many of his other friends, predecessors, and contemporaries such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti were not so lucky to avoid.

 Reviews of 'The Anxiety of Influence: A Theory of Poetry'
David Bloom is probably the leading proponent of literary influence theory, and his thoughts have even spilled over into other arts (specifically into music -- see Mark Evan Bonds's AFTER BEETHOVEN and Joseph Straus's REMAKING THE PAST, for example); but his four books on influence are esoteric, to say the least.
The argument, that the poets' craft is essentially anxiety relative and reactive to their precursors, is something I think we all believe on some level.
As for T.S. Eliot, he was profoundly influenced by Walt Whitman's poetry, but turned back to Christian ideas in a way that Whitman and other modern poets had refused to do.
