I think it's premature to discuss canonization for anyone so newly dead. Writers will go out of fashion for a variety of reasons in the generations immediately following their period of activity; they return, sometimes long after they have died. I am personally fascinated with Charlotte Lennox, whom Samuel Johnson praised back when she was writing. Her work remained out of print until the 1980s or early 1990s; I'm glad it's back.
