A. The Theocratic
Age: 2000 BCE-1321 CE
B. The Aristocratic Age: 1321-1832
C. The Democratic Age: 1832-1900
D. The Chaotic Age: 20th Century
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...."

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)
