Literary studies in almost all parts of
the world involve a system of valuation of literary texts and authors.
Consequently, some texts and authors are canonised and established as
"standards" in every literature on suppression of rest of
"non-standard" texts.
Traditionally, some qualities like test of time, aesthetic standard and
representation of real life are regarded as benchmarks of value judgement of
literary texts and authors. Nevertheless, such systems of judgements are most
of the times suspected to be false as they apparently exclude many of texts
with different qualities and they base the judgements upon few select critics.
Due to exclusion of many texts and authors as decided by few critics, value
judgements in literature are under the questions of accuracy and credibility.
