Summary

Canon Shifts explores the dynamic nature of literary canons, revealing how these collections of esteemed works are shaped by cultural values and power dynamics rather than existing as timeless, objective truths. The book highlights how social justice movements have propelled shifts in canon formation, advocating for greater inclusion and representation of marginalized voices in literature. Notably, the text analyzes the historical construction of canons, demonstrating how social, political, and economic factors influence which works achieve canonical status. The study offers a unique blend of historical analysis, critical theory, and practical pedagogical strategies, providing educators with actionable guidance for creating inclusive learning environments. Beginning with an introduction to core concepts, the book progresses through detailed case studies, such as the rise of postcolonial literature, before culminating in strategies for educators to foster critically engaged classrooms. By integrating literary criticism, historical archives, and educational research, Canon Shifts provides a comprehensive understanding of the forces reshaping our literary landscape.

    The Prince and the Pauper

    Originally published in 1881, Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper is a timeless tale of switched identities. After the young Prince Edward VI of England and a peasant boy switch places, the "little king" tries to escape from a world in which he must beg for food, sleep with rodents, face ridicule, and avoid assassination. Meanwhile, the peasant, who is now the prince, dreads exposure and possible execution-while members of the Court believe he has gone mad. As a result of the swap, both boys learn that social class, like so much of life, is determined by chance and random circumstance. Originally published in 1881, The Prince and the Pauper is one of Mark Twain's earliest social satires. With his caustic wit and biting irony, Twain satirizes the power of the monarchy, unjust laws and barbaric punishments, superstitions, and religious intolerance. Although usually viewed as a child's story, The Prince and the Pauper offers adults critical insight into a people and time period not really all that different from our own.
