This paper presents an analysis of the gender of the authors and the main characters of the set texts for English examinations taken at age 16 in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It presents an argument for why representation within the canon is important and places this within the context of recent educational reform in England and Scotland. The analysis demonstrates that texts by female authors are in a minority, sometimes in the extreme, and when the gender of the main character is taken into account, there is an even greater imbalance. The reasons behind this, even after a time of major educational reform, are explored and the constraints of the market are suggested as reasons why greater risks were not taken.

性别与英国当代教育经典

本文对作者的性别进行了分析,并分析了英格兰,北爱尔兰,苏格兰和威尔士在16岁时参加英语考试的背景知识的主要特点。它提出了这样一个论点,即教规内的代表为什么很重要,并将其置于英格兰和苏格兰最近的教育改革的背景下。分析表明,女性作家的作品占少数,有时甚至是极端,而且考虑到主要人物的性别时,甚至存在更大的不平衡。甚至在进行了重大的教育改革之后,也探究了其背后的原因,并提出了市场的制约因素,作为未承担更大风险的原因。
