It is argued that the following principal stages in this process may be identified: transition from ancient Greek and Roman legacy to previous and contemporary British writings (18<sup>th</sup> c.); “Americanization” of the canon marked by fierce polemics (19<sup>th</sup> – early 20<sup>th</sup> c.); functioning of “protocanon” based on genteel tradition (turn of the 19<sup>th</sup> – 20<sup>th</sup> cc.); building of democratic-individualistic canon around key figures in American Renaissance and later mainstream authors (mid-20<sup>th</sup> с.); and, finally, “the revolution of plurality” entailing the opening of the canon for representatives of ethnic, racial, gender and other minorities (1960s-1990s), and on, to present-day changes in its generic parameters and pronounced cultural and intermedial dimensions.&nbsp;</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Accents and Paradoxes of Modern Philology}, author={Vysotska, Nataliia}, year={2017}, month={Feb.}, pages={74-85} }
