In literary criticism who is known as an arch critic?

Question

It might be recent post modernist critic.

Answer 1

I did a search on Yahoo and came up with Charles Jencks, who is called "an arch critic of postmodern architecture." The link is at http://lava.ds.arch.tue.nl/gallery/praha/tgehryen.html

I agree with the other answer about Harold Bloom. He has published a massive number of works, and his implied goal seems to be to upset every other critic.

Answer 2

My first thought is Harold Bloom, though he's mostly focused on the Romantic era. Also I can't stand him. But he has done postmodern criticism and is well-known and respected.
