Cultural Capital: The Problem of Literary Canon Formation by Professor John Guil

Description: Cultural Capital by Professor John Guillory, Merve Emre, John Guillory Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An enlarged edition to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of John Guillorys formative text on the literary canon. Since its publication in 1993, John Guillorys Cultural Capital has been a signal text for understanding the codification and uses of the literary canon. Cultural Capital reconsiders the social basis for aesthetic judgment and exposes the unequal distribution of symbolic and literary knowledge on which "culture" had long been based. Drawing from Pierre Bourdieus 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 "cultural capital" in the schools, which regulate access to literacy, to the practices of reading and writing. Now, as the "crisis of the canon" has evolved into the "crisis of humanities," Guillorys groundbreaking, incisive work has never been more relevant and urgent. As scholar and critic Merve Emre writes in her introduction to this new edition: "Exclusion, selection, reflection, representation—these are the terms on which the canon wars of the last century were fought, and the terms that continue to inform debates about, for instance, decolonizing the curriculum and the rhetoric of antiracist pedagogy." Author Biography John Guillory is the Julius Silver Professor of English at New York University. He is coeditor of Whats Left of Theory? New Work on the Politics of Literary Theory and author of Poetic Authority: Spenser, Milton, and Literary History and Professing Criticism: Essays on the Organization of Literary Study, the latter of which is also published by the University of Chicago Press.
