Book excerpt: Using student-friendly language and an engaging thematic approach to bring the canon to life, CANON RELOADED invites students to think about what we mean by the literary canon, why it is created and how it might be challenged. Students will encounter and respond to literary classics alongside contemporary texts and texts in translation, as they explore how themes such as journeys, love, death and the world we live in recur across a variety of historical moments and literary movements.
