Abstract

A discussion of some of the ways in which notions of the literary 'canon' influence the construction of curricula in English in schools and universities. It argues that whereas changes in the literary 'canon' are of long-term cultural significance, a curriculum is something put together for specific pedagogic purposes, and it can be changed and revised at will.
