An important critical study of Canadian literature, placing internationally
successful anglophone Canadian authors in the context of their national
literary history.
While the focus of the book is on twentieth-century and contemporary writing,
it also charts the historical development of Canadian literature and discusses
important eighteenth- and nineteenth-century authors. The chapters focus on
four central topics in Canadian culture: Ethnicity, Race, Colonisation;
Wildernesses, Cities, Regions; Desire; and Histories and Stories. Each chapter
combines case studies of five key texts with a broad discussion of concepts
and approaches, including postcoionial and postmodern reading strategies and
theories of space, place and desire. Authors chosen for close analysis include
Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Alice Munro, Leonard Cohen, Thomas
King and Carol Shields.
