Critical Journal #1: The Canon
The canon is a collection of literary works by any author recognizably successful in previous generations. One of the key issues of the canon is the concern of political agenda, excluding certain people from the canon. ... It is suggested that there is a conspiracy as to why the canon consists mainly of white, middle-class and upper class male writers. ... Secondly, the canon is said to consist of the most genuine works, but non-canonical works are written just as well. ...
I agree with the theory that the canon may be a conspiracy. ... Therefore, it makes perfect sense to believe the canon has discriminated certain people. Despite the fact that men make up the greater part of the canon, I think that women or minorities can comfortably fit into the hierarchy.
