AB - In recent decades, few topics have been as a great a subject of debate as the nature and construction of the canon. The traditional belief is that the canon is made up of works that are ‘great,’ ‘valuable,’ ‘universal,’ and ‘timeless.’ Recent revisionist critics are now arguing that a literary work is not an autonomous object which possesses an intrinsic aesthetic value, but rather a product of diverse economic, political, ideological, and institutional forces. In this paper, I intend to examine the literary reputation of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe, and Kate Chopin, using the emerging revisionist insights into the process of canon formation. This study will demonstrate various contingencies involved in the aesthetic judgment and the significant influence of institutional practices in the formation of the classical American canon.
