Textual Editions, Gender and Literary History: The Case of Ilmi Kolla

Summary/Abstract: Writing literary history is based on different factors that all influence its formation. It is also inseparable from the process of canon formation which is by nature an ideological construction, i.e. it is connected with decision-making on which authors to include and which authors to leave out, based on both conscious and unconscious attitudes evaluating authors and their production. It is also connected with judgements of how to represent authors and their production and from which ideological positions. The canon formation is influenced also by gendered meanings that have been attached to authors and to their production, and these can also define their place in literary history.
