Resumen

John Guillory became an influential scholar in the 1990s with Cultural Capital (2023), a book that was crucial in the so-called Canon Wars of the period. Guillory turned to the sociology of literature to argue for the necessity of historicizing the concept of value of literary works, as well as recognizing that the history of literature “cannot be dissociated from the history of the school” (Guillory, 2023, p. 60). Cultural Capital sparked an interest among scholars in the institutionalization of literature and in understanding the role of academic institutions and practices in this.
