The correct answer is A and D only.

Let us analyze each of the pairings to understand why this option is correct:
1. John Keble – On the Healing Power of Poetry (A): This is a correct match. John Keble, an English churchman and poet, delivered these lectures (originally in Latin as Praelectiones Academicae) while serving as Professor of Poetry at Oxford. They were later translated into English under the title On the Healing Power of Poetry.
2. Carl G. Jung – Writing and Difference (B): This is an incorrect match. Writing and Difference (L'écriture et la différence) is a seminal 1967 collection of essays by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, not the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.
3. Jacques Derrida – Modern Man in Search of a Soul (C): This is an incorrect match. Modern Man in Search of a Soul is a famous collection of essays on analytical psychology written by Carl Jung, not Jacques Derrida. The authors in B and C have been swapped.
4. Harold Bloom – The Anxiety of Influence (D): This is a correct match. published in 1973, The Anxiety of Influence: A Theory of Poetry is the most famous work by the American literary critic Harold Bloom, in which he outlines his theory of how poets are influenced by their predecessors.
5. Kate Millett – Jacques Lacan: A Feminist Introduction (E): This is an incorrect match. Jacques Lacan: A Feminist Introduction is a book written by Elizabeth Grosz, not Kate Millett. Kate Millett is best known for her landmark feminist book Sexual Politics.

Therefore, only statements A and D are correctly matched, which corresponds to the option A and D only.
