內容簡介: |
This book offers a comprehensive and lively introduction to
major writers, genres and topics in Canadian literature. Addressing
traditional assumptions and current issues, contributors pay
attention to the social, political and economic developments that
have informed literary events. Broad surveys of fiction, drama, and
poetry are complemented by chapters on Aboriginal writing,
autobiography, literary criticism, writing by women, and the
emergence of urban writing in a country historically defined by its
regions. Also discussed are genres that have a special place in
Canadian literature, such as nature-writing, exploration and
travel-writing, and short fiction. Athough the emphasis is on
literature in English, a substantial chapter on francophone writing
is included.
