Cultural Capital: The Problem of Literary Canon Formation

Cultural Capital by John Guillory is a groundbreaking book that challenges the traditional understanding of literary canons and their formation.

By employing concepts from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology, Guillory argues that canon formation is not about representing social groups but rather about the distribution of cultural capital in schools.

This book promises to recast the debate about the literary curriculum and "multiculturalism" and will leave few comfortable commonplaces intact.

With a brilliant analysis and uncompromising study, Cultural Capital is a landmark work that will inform and outrage readers in equal measure.

Don't miss out on this intellectually severe and excellent study that will be discussed for years to come.
