About the Book

The Western Canon is more than a required reading list -- it is a vision. Infused with a love of learning, compelling in its arguments for a unifying written culture, it argues brilliantly against the politicization of literature and presents a guide to the great works and essential writers of the ages. The Western Canon was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
