The literary canon is one of the most lively areas of debate in
contemporary literary studies. This set of essays is both timely
and original in its focus on the canon in South-East Asian
literatures, covering Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia,
Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. They vary in focus, from the
broad panoramic survey of trends in a national literature to very
specific discussions of the role of individuals in shaping a canon
or the place of a particular text within a tradition, and from
contemporary to traditional literature. They include discussions of
the development of prose fiction, censorship and artistic freedom,
the role of westerners in codifying indigenous literatures, the
writing of literary history, the development of literary criticism
and indigenous aesthetics.
