Encyclopedia of Contemporary Literary Theory
The last half of the twentieth century has seen the emergence of literary theory as a new discipline. As with any body of scholarship, various schools of thought exist, and sometimes conflict, within it. I.R. Makaryk has compiled a welcome guide to the field. Accessible and jargon-free, the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Literary Theory provides lucid, concise explanations of myriad approaches to literature that have arisen over the past forty years. Some 170 scholars from around the world have contributed their expertise to this volume. Their work is organized into three parts. In Part I, forty evaluative essays examine the historical and cultural context out of which new schools of and appro...
History of Literature in Canada
The development of literature in Canada with an eye to its multicultural, multiethnic, multilingual nature. From modest colonial beginnings, literature in Canada has arrived at the center stage of world literature. Works by English-Canadian writers -- both established writers such as Margaret Atwood and new talents such as Yann Martel -- make regular appearances on international bestseller lists. French-Canadian literature has also found its own voice in the North American and francophone worlds. "CanLit" has likewise developed into a staple of academic interest, pursued in Canadian Studies programs in Canada and around the world. This volume draws on the expertise of scholars from Canada, G...
The Making of the Nations and Cultures of the New World
The Making of the Nations and Cultures of the New World explores the question of how a culture - a collective consciousness - is born. Gérard Bouchard compares the histories of New World collectivities, which were driven by a dream of freedom and sovereignty, and finds both major differences and striking commonalities in their formation and evolution. He also considers the myths and discursive strategies devised by elites in their efforts to unite and mobilize diversified populations.
To Serve Canada
"In To Serve Canada, [Preston] takes up the story of RMC (Royal Military College) as one of Canada's three military colleges and examines its development through the uncertain years of the Cold War, through the vagaries of public indifference towards defence, through the evolution of degree-granting status and the moves towards institutional bilingualism, and through the frequent Ottawa-directed re-evaluations of their roles. By chronicling the development of RMC and its sister colleges from the post-Korea period to the present, Dr Preston has provided a valuable and entertaining addition to the historical literature of this country"--Foreword, page vii-viii
Emblèmes d'une littérature
"Writing relegated to the dustbin of history to those that our memory holds, the trail is marked by readers and readings. These classics of French literature, ancient and modern together, certain works published during the Quiet Revolution were acclaimed because they appeared to be fully in line with the socio-political context of the time and thus present a consensus vision of identity Quebec. They offered images and reflections searched : desires facts works, mirrors at work, becoming, in short, real emblems and a review of literature. This book recounts the story of the large joints mémoriel built by critics Quebec around three novels published in the years 1960, is the bookseller (1960) by Gérard Bessette, Next é pisode (1965) Hubert Aquin and L 'Swallowed the downstream é s (1966) Réjean Ducharme. Abundantly commented, these texts have crossed the Quebec contemporary literature and are now holders of stories that go beyond just part fiction. Analyses here are grouped based not on a strict study of the critical reception, but rather on a reading novels and critical texts Quebec who have been enshrined since their release."--Pub. desc.

Literature and Painting In Quebec
This unique study explores how Quebec's landscapes have been represented in both literature and visual art throughout the centuries, from the writing of early explorers such as Cartier and Champlain to work by prominent contemporary authors and artists from the province. William J. Berg traces recurrent images and themes within these creations through the most significant periods in the development of a Quebecois identity that was threatened initially by the wilderness and indigenous populations, and later by the dominance of British and American influences. Focusing on the interplay between nature and culture in landscape representation, Literature and Painting in Quebec contends that both have reflected and fashioned the meaning of French-Canadian nationhood. As such, Literature and Painting in Quebec presents a new perspective to approach the notion of national identity, a quest that few groups have engaged in more persistently than the Quebecois.
