Subject: Canonical Listings (LONG!!)
Organization: Grebyn Timesharing
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 1992 22:15:38 GMT

  In response to both a post requesting a list of 'books you
should read' and the canon debate, I'll post a note that was
forwarded to me two years ago (having been saved from a post
made two years before that).

  Regarding the canonical list debate, I believe inspection
of the list will reveal that disagreement between list composers
is the rule rather than the exception.  There are 8 lists collated 
into this listing.  Two of the lists are mutually exclusive, so a book
may appear on at most 7 of the lists.  Further, at least two of the
lists have been revised since this collation was made.

  Of the 470 works mentioned (your count may differ depending 
on how you count Shakespeare) only two are on all seven lists
(Moby Dick and Don Quixote).  Only 51 are even on four of the 
seven possible.  So only slightly more than 10% of all books mentioned 
as being canonical by one list maker (and most of these lists are 
consensus listings rather than personal preference listings which 
theoretically should have produced a greater degree of agreement 
between the lists) make it onto a majority of other canonical listings.  
The notion of a single 'Canon' which is adhered to (anywhere) 
definitely takes on the appearance of a straw man.

  The disagreement between different listers was also true of r.a.bble.
About the time this collation was forwarded to me, I'd posted a note
requesting people's recommendations from their reading of the last 
year.  Only 10% of the books there had multiple recommendations.  
(The most-recommended on that list was Lord of the Rings.)

  My gratitude to Alexander McIntire, who collected the joint
listings.

Here begins the original summary which was forwarded to me two
years ago, from a list first posted in 1988 or so.
=============================
The list below includes recommendations or works included in a
     variety of sources:
 
l = The Lifetime Reading Plan by Clifton Fadiman.
g = Great Books of the Western World, Mortimer J. Adler, Editor.
t = Great Books of the Twentieth Century, as proposed by Adler.
c = Books for the College-Bound Student, in Books and the Teen-
     aged Reader.
e = The College and Adult Reading List of the National Council of
     Teachers of English (NCTE).
b = Books for You, the secondary-level reading list of the NCTE.
s = List for the college-preparatory student in Reading in the
     Secondary School.
r = One Hundred Significant Books from Good Reading -- Committee
     on College Reading.
 
Some considerations:
 
     Many of the books followed by c, s, b, or e are what I call
"teacherly" books--those seen as suitable for secondary English
curricula because of literary merit or perceived wholesomeness.
They represent, in some case, the biases, professional and
personal, of generations of English teachers.
     The books followed by l, g, t, or r might be more
legitimately considered "important," either for literary merit or
historical importance. They include most of the core "classics"
of the Western literary canon and important works of the social
and natural sciences.
     Obviously, the same problems of canonicity and ethnic bias
that pertain in scholastic debate today can be seen in this list.
The major reason for including the "teacherly" works is to offer
some alternatives--there are more works by female writers and at
least some by non-white writers there. By that same token, the
orientation is weighted toward American titles in 19th and 20th
Century works, and toward Western works generally.
     Any serious reader will have quarrels with this list. That
is as it should be. I have not fudged here. I stress this point
to avoid conflict. I did not choose the books included here. To
take the smallest example, I don't know why King Lear is not
included in the Shakespeare list. I would, however, challenge any
serious reader to look through here without finding at least
something that sparks your attention and sends you off to the
library.
     Finally, realize that these lists are timebound. Many of the
original compilations were made in the 1950s and 1960s [when
people still read, says my anti-television bias]. There are works
here that seemed to be important at the time, but which have
wavered in their reputation in the last two or three decades.
     I would welcome any helpful comments or reasonable sources
to add to the database that underlies this project.
