This book investigates the role of the literary canon in the teaching of literature. Drawing on theoretical, historical, and empirical studies, it explores processes of canon formation that emerged long before the teaching of literature became a discipline but continue to inform this teaching in the 21st century.
Robert J. Aston received his Ph.D. from Columbia University. He has taught secondary English for over ten years and in both California and New York; he has also taught at Columbia University's Teachers College. His research, influenced heavily by the ideas of Michel Foucault, focuses on canon theory, literary knowledge, and assemblage theory.
