W roku 1994 amerykanski krytyk literacki Harold Bloom opublikowal ksiazke ‘The Western Canon. The Books and School of the Ages’. Ksiazka ta zawiera niezwykle kontroweresyjna liste pisarzy oraz ich poszczegolnych prac, ktore wedlug Bloom’a stanowi kanon literacki. W liscie tej rowniez nie znalazlo miejsca wielu pisarzy ze wzgledu na ich ‘znikomy’ wklad w rozwoj literatury. Takie narzucanie innym swoich subiektywnych ocen, moim zdaniem, przeczy zalozeniom edukacyjnym, ktore przede wszystkim winny sugerowac a nie narzucac list lektur z ktorymi powinnismy sie zapoznac. Konczac moje pytanie jest nastepujace: Czy listy lektur sa tak naprawde potrzebne w naszych szkolach?

Spróbujmy pytanie Dimitri przenieść na grunt historyczny. Co z lekturami historycznymi? Czy też istnieją klasyki historii, jeśli tak, to powinniśmy je czytać, czy raczej oglądać się za "świeżą krwią"? Czy w historii też ktoś ma prawo narzucać nam listy lektur?

Lektury historyczne? Dlaczego by nie? Osobiscie uwazam, ze podreczniki (tzw.wprowadzenia) sa wazne i potrzebne. Co od literatury uzupelniajacej, wolnosc wyboru winna byc priorytetem!

Przenosząc pytanie z kolei na grunt ogólny - najwyżej na studiach można pozwolić na pewną dowolność lektur - można założyć pewien poziom dobrej woli naucznych. Niżej niestety często uczący się robią wszystko, by przeczytać jak najmniej i czasami trzeba po prostu stosować rygorystyczne listy lektur, by zmusić do przeczytania choćby tych najważniejszych. W innym wypadku ogromna większość uczniów nie czytałaby nic albo tylko Harrego Pottera.

Oto pełen kanon Harolda Blooma w języku angielskim (warto wiedzieć, o czym mówimy):
A. The Theocratic Age "Since the literary canon is at issue here, I include only those religious, philosophical, historical, and scientific writings that are themselves of great aesthetic interest. I would think that, of all the books that are in this first list, once the reader is conversant with the Bible, Homer, Plato, the Athenian dramatists, and Virgil, the crucial work is the Koran.... "I have included some Sanskrit works, scriptures and fundamental literary texts, because of their influence on the Western canon. The immense wealth of ancient Chinese literature is mostly a sphere apart from Western literary tradition and is rarely conveyed adequately in the translations available to us." (p. 531)

B. The Aristocratic Age "It is a span of five hundred years from Dante's Divine Comedy through Goethe's Faust, Part Two [1321-1832], an era that gives us a huge body of reading in five major literatures: Italian, Spanish, English, French, and German. In this and in the remaining lists, I sometimes do not mention individual works by a canonical master, and in other instances I attempt to call attention to authors and books that I consider canonical but rather neglected. From this list onward, many good writers who are not quite central are omitted...." (p. 534)

C. The Democratic Age "I have located Vico's Democratic Age in the post-Goethean nineteenth century, when the literature of Italy and Spain ebbs, yielding eminence to England with its renaissance of the Renaissance in Romanticism, and to a lesser degree to France and Germany. This is also the era where the strength of both Russian and American literature begins." (p. 540)

D. The Chaotic Age: A Canonical Prophecy "I am not as confident about this list as the first three. Cultural prophecy is always a mug's game.

Aż strach się przyznać, ale większość nie czytałem... Mało tego. Niektórych nawet jakbym chciał to bym nie mógł lub nie dał rady. Bo też "Koran" jest tylko po arabsku, a uczyć się nie mam zamiaru. A taka "Mahabharata" np., według różnych danych: 106 do 250 tysięcy wersów w 18 księgach. To chyba już lepiej wyjść i z psem sobie pochodzić.
Dla równowagi proponuje inną zabawę: listę książek których pod żadnym pozorem nie należy czytać. Tak kilka moich propozycji na początek:
James Joyce. Ulisses Marcel Proust. W Poszukiwaniu Straconego Czasu Stefan Żeromski. Dzieła Wszystkie

Bardzo zly wybor! Co ciekawe, Harold Bloom tez uwaza, ze Joyce'a nie mozna zaliczac do 'wielkich' (patrz: 'How to read Shakespeare'). Proust pozostaje klasyka dla wielu, a Zeromski niestety znany jest tylko z lektur szkolnych. Jego mniej znane prace np: 'Snobizm i Postep'(1923) sa naprawde godne uwage.

QUOTE Bo też "Koran" jest tylko po arabsku, a uczyć się nie mam zamiaru
Koran jest po polsku i to w dwóch tłumaczeniach: XIX i XX wiecznym. Zdecydowanie lepsze jest to drugie. Z kolei jeśli chodzi o lektury polecam:
Karol May "Winnetou" Astrid Lingren "Bracia Lwie Serce" No i oczywiście "Muminki"
A "Ulissesów" i tym podobnych Joyców oraz Proustów to sobie darujcie.

Osobiście uważam, że Ulisses jest książką w sam raz na deszczowy październik. Nie wiem, czemu darzycie Joyce'a taką antypatią. Muminki trzeba znać, ale literatura się na tym nie kończy.
Należy podkreślić, że kanon jest od krytyka anglojęzycznego do czytelnika anglojęzycznego i o dużej części książek z Wielkiej Brytanii czy Stanów Zjednoczonych nigdy nie słyszeliśmy.

Harold Bloom to prawdziwy 'snob literacki' z Yale. W ostatnich dekadach staral sie narzucic opinii publicznej (glownie anglojezycznej) wiele ze swoich urojonych pomyslow. Wspomniana powyzej 'How to read Shakespeare' to jedna z jego sztambuchowych pozycji w ktorej probuje on narzucic czytelnikowi niczym 'Big Brother' tempo, sposob analizy a nawet 'prawdidlowy emocjonalny odbior' dziel Szekspira. Bloom nigdy nie przypadl mi do gustu - Zeromskiego natomiast lubie!

Boże Święty prawie nikogo z tej listy nie znam ! Chyba do końca życia zaszyję się w oksfordzkiej bibliotece żebym nie umarł ze świadomością braku znajomości z lekturami z listy Bloom'a...
Btw, większość z tych książek nie została przetłumaczonych na język polski, nie ?
