This important contribution to the canon debate is remarkable in
examining the actual process of canon formation from threee unusual
and complementary angles. The first two chapters discuss historical
attitudes to canons from antiquity onwards, showing the religious,
aesthetic, cultural and political interests which have shaped our
modern critical canons. Each of the four succeeding chapters
examines an exemplary defendant, interpreter, or critic of canons;
Ernst Gomrich, Northrop Frye, Frank Kermode and Edward Said. A
final chapter considers the origins and rationale of the
contemporary debate, emphasising the disciplinary and aesthetic
problems we must confront if our cultural institutions are to meet
the challenging needs of the next century. Professor Gorak teaches
at the University of Denver. His publications include God the
Artist (1987), Critic of Crisis (1987)and The Alien Mind of Raymond
Williams (1988)
