  The issue of the canon has been debated in academic circles for many years. This title contains two lectures on this important subject - delivered as the Tanner lectures at Berkeley in November of 2001 - by the literary critic Sir Frank Kermode. It reinterprets the question of canon formation in light of two central notions: pleasure and change.
