It's cute how you think "the canon" is this monolithic and unchangeable structure, and not a very flimsy, almost non existant, consensus which exists mostly so academics can "break it" by proving this author is and/or that one isn't part of your precious fucking cannon. Harold Bloom is a sad fat memester who fell for the aestheticism spook, and americans, being as obsessed as they are with ranking, listing and quantifying things, fell for it, like a bunch of gullible morons, believing you will somehow be "cultured" if you manage to read a hundred fucking books (él oh él)
