Bloom argued against the study of literature based only on?

  • Historical Context

  • Author's Intent

  • Social Groups

  • Narrative Structure

Answer

Bloom argued against the study of literature based only on social groups because he believed that literature should be studied for its own sake, and not for its social or historical context. He argued that literature is a unique form of art that should be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities, and not for its ability to provide information about the society in which it was created.
