Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon" - "In 1994, American literary critic and Yale humanities professor Harold Bloom published a book entitled The Western Canon. In it, he defended the very concept of a "canon" by discussing 26 of its central writers (including Shakespeare, Cervantes, Goethe, Tolstoy, Ibsen, and Borges). At the end of the book is a lengthy appendix--over 35 double-columned pages!--in four parts, containing those writers he considers canonical. According to Josh Jones (on Open Culture), "Bloom later disavowed the list, claiming that his editor insisted on it."
