Literature can shape a whole nations culture and identity, and it can do the same to a person as well just like all art forms. I want to know who your literary canon is. I’ll start with mine in order.
- Mary Shelley
- Edgar Allan Poe
- Charlotte Brontë
- Emily Brontë
- JRR Tolkien
- Toni Morrison
- Vladimir Nabokov
- Franz Kafka
- Jorge Luis Borges
- Jane Austen
- Emily Dickinson
- Homer
- Shakespeare
- Margret Atwood
- Herman Melville
- Kazuo Ishiguro
- Kurt Vonnegut
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
- Leo Tolstoy
- Virginia Woolf
These are the authors who shaped who I am and I consider these authors to be my literary canon if that makes sense. What authors make your own personal canon?
