Canon is the "accepted" or "official" version or type of something. In the context of this wiki, a group of artistic works that are generally accepted as representing a field. The concept is derived from the biblical canon. It is a concept which has been attacked (esp. the Western canon) since the postmodern era but is regarded as a necessary evil in the context of education. A writer or artist has been canonized if one can point to him as a mononym, by his first or last name only. For example, there is only one Beckett, Samuel Beckett.
