CANADIANS AND AMERICANS
Myths and Literary Traditions
Katherine L. Morrison
Much can be learned from a nation’s literature. Examining three hundred
years of cultural traditions, Katherine L. Morrison, a former American, now
a Canadian, takes the reader through the historical, political, and sociological
milieu of Canada and the United States to dispel misconceptions that they
share near-identical social attitudes and historical experiences.
To most Americans and much of the rest of the world, America and Canada
differ little except in terms of climate. It is true that they share a common
British heritage and immigration patterns, but there are subtle cultural
differences between the two countries. These may appear insignificant to
Americans, but they are not insignificant to Canadians. Comparing
mythologies each of the countries share about the other, the author examines
national views of their histories, from the common origin of both nations in
the American Revolution, through the two world wars. She also examines
the role of nature and images of place and home in Canadian and American
literary writing, noting the disparate historical development of the two
national literatures. Using specific works by recognized authors of their time,
Morrison considers the role of religion and the church, violence and the law,
and humor and satire, in the literature of both countries. The book also
explores the role of women, race, and class in the literature of both countries.
It concludes with a discussion of the tenacity of national myths, and draws
some tentative conclusions.
Now published in paperback in the United States, Morrison’s broad-based
approach to a largely unexplored subject will invite future study as well as
improve understanding between Canada and the United States. Oanadicms
and Americans will be of interest to cultural historians, American studies
specialists, political scientists, and sociologists.
