The Rhetoric of Canadian Writing
The sixteen articles in The Rhetoric of Canadian Writing are a welcome contribution to the growing interest in Canadian culture, indicating its variety - Aboriginal, Anglo-Canadian and French-Canadian culture and their interrelationships are all represented.

Contributors address the theme of identity and post-colonial disputation in their explorations of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century writing by Elizabeth Simcoe, Catharine Parr Traill and Lucy Montgomery as well as contemporary works by Margaret Atwood, Nancy Huston, Wayne Johnston, Susan Swan, Jacques Poulin and Rudy Wiebe. Quebecoise writer Louis Dupré contributes a compelling reflection on women's writing in Quebec.

This book is a life's work of scholarship. It has been well spent."—Toronto Globe and Mail

Creative Canada
Did he ever play Hamlet? Has she worked in television? What was the title of his first novel? Under whom did she study? How many children has he?
