读书简介

John Guillory challenges the most fundamental premises of the canon debate by resituating the problem of canon formation in an entirely new theoretical framework. The result is a book that promises to recast not only the debate about the literary curriculum but also the controversy over "e;multiculturalism"e; and the current "e;crisis of the humanities."e; Employing concepts drawn from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology, Guillory argues that canon formation must be understood less as a question of the representation of social groups than as a question of the distribution of "e;cultural capital"e; in the schools, which regulate access to literacy, to the practices of reading and writing.
