In the States, horror has always had a place--Brown, Hawthorne, Melville, Poe, etc. There are other literary canons--within genres. Since sf, an American invention, has been out of THE canon, it established its own, pulling into it "proto" sf from THE canon--Orwell, Verne--and identifying its own masters. In horror, for instance, Lovecraft has been canonical since Derleth started his Arkham House; now, Lovecraft is in the Norton. You and I are clearly in very special, limited canons. I'm pretty sure my mom considers my work to be canonical.Adam Golaskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008713238582881525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293913535814025060.post-49144075832614623822017-07-11T09:04:36.035-04:002017-07-11T09:04:36.035-04:00"canonization" may equal "fired fro..."canonization" may equal "fired from a canon", study that,plus shrapnel, &c.<br />Therefore something not easily defined, explained, and (in wrong sense) "canonized".<br />Blast-Off, 3, 2, 1, . . .<br /><br />(hadn't thought of this before)(like many other things)MALALEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563118805586951514noreply@blogger.com
