Canon formation: ." . . the traditional dream of ambitious critics.
A canon is commonly seen as what other people, once powerful, have
made and what should now be opened up, demystified, or eliminated
altogether." So writes editor Robert von Hallberg in his
introduction. This collection of essays articulates how canons are
constructed and examines the ways in which academic canons
influence literary thought and instruction. Presenting a wide range
of canonical interpretation, the volume includes essays on such
themes as Native American literature and the canon, the ideology of
canon formation, the history of American poetry anthologies,
undoing the canonical economy, the making of the modernist canon,
and canon and power in the Hebrew scriptures.
