Read where kaenonreul Where can I find it?

Query courtesy of rxj62: Where can I find the Reading Canon?

I recently heard about there being a “canon” that has a list of the 200 (I think) books of all time to read. Is it an official canon? If so, where can I find this list and what is it specifically called? Search engines aren’t pulling it up. Thanks


This is actually information about Where can I find the Reading Canon? possibly prefer to fix issues by themself. Maybe this element helps in lots of ways… and formulate the way you live greater. Who wish information about Where can I find the Reading Canon? happens to be a response of the future.

Answer by Dr. Mick

The notion of a Literary Canon is based in the belief that there are certain works of literature that are masterpieces and universally recognized and appreciated for their artistic value. The notion of a Canon is not universally accepted and widely argued.


In 1994 Harold Bloom, a Sterling Professor of the Humanities at Yale University published “The Western Canon,” a survey of Western literature works from antiquity to the present that Bloom considers to be these great masterpieces.


Bloom was not the first to publish a list. Robert Hutchins, a former president of the University of Chicago published a “Great Books” list with the help of Mortimer Adler in the 1940s and in 1909-1910 Charles Eliot, then president of Harvard published his own list calling it the “Harvard Classics.”


All of these lists are available on the web. Try “Harold Bloom The Canon,” or “The Great Books” or “Harvard Classics.”
