In this essay, I have analyzed both the Swedish and Danish debates about the insertion of a literary canon in school’s curricula. After a description of the terms “canon” and “cultivation”, I proceed to analyze debate news articles from both Swedish and Danish media to find similarities and differences in the arguments between the two debates. I then compare the arguments between both countries to find how Denmark could be able to implement a literary canon into the curricula, but not Sweden. I find that both countries have similarities and differences regarding the debates, and that although there are implications as to say why, one can not in truth conclude why Denmark had its canon implemented.
