This book was released on 1971 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To anyone who has crossed the Canadian prairies, the title of thisbook, Vertical Man/Horizontal World, will strike a responsive chord --man stands alone in seemingly limitless landscape "as empty asnightmare". The stark isolation of man against the prairie's landscape is"so obvious" the author says, "that except for passingcomments [in two studies of Canadian prairie fiction] no one has made asustained analysis of the use of the prairie in Canadian fiction, orargued at any length for what most immediately unifies the literatureof the prairie region." Author Ricou argues that man is intimidated by the vastness which sosurrounds him, and "he will almost certainly wish to meet thechallenge of this land, to say 'Look, look!' in whatever way hecan, by raising a crop or a monument, by interpreting his experience inpaint or words." Ricou traces this recurrent theme in prairie fiction from writerssuch as Frederick Philip Grove and Wallce Stegner, Edward McCourt andW.O. Mitchell, to Margaret Laurence and Robert Kroetsch. In tracing the relationship of man and land from the earliestwriters of prairie fiction to the most recent, Ricou shows how the calmand benign relationship of man and land as exemplified, for instance,in the fiction of Robert Stead and W.O. Mitchell has changed in recentnovels to a more dramatic confrontation. "[The novelists] find in[the landscape] an ideal mirror for the dilemma (and often thestrength) of existential man." Critic Henry Keisel once wrote: "To conquer a piece of thecontinent, to put one's imprint upon virgin land, to say 'HereI am, for that I came", is as much a way of proving one'sexistence, as is Descartes' "cogito, ergo sum."Vertical Man/Horizontal World is an affirmation ofKreisel's statement. Slowly and cumulatively Ricou traces the imageof man leaving his mark on the empty, sometimes nightmarish land of theCanadian prairie. "How do we fit our time and our place?" isa question posed by all the writers Ricou examines. "Theanswer," he says, "at this point in the evolution of Canadianprairie fiction, delivered with conviction . . . is: abruptly anduneasily, but brazenly and delightedly." This book is a sustained and penetrating look at theinterrelationship of man and landscape in Canadian prairie fiction.

Download or read book Comparative Literature in Canada written by Susan Ingram and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume takes stock of the discipline of comparative literature and its theory and practice from a Canadian perspective. It engages with the most pressing critical issues at the intersection of comparative literature and other areas of inquiry in the context of scholarship, pedagogy and academic publishing: bilingualism and multilingualism, Indigeneity, multiple canons (literary and other), the relationship between print culture and other media, the development of information studies, concerted efforts in digitization, and the future of the production and dissemination of knowledge. The authors offer an analysis of the current state of Canadian comparative literature, with a dual focus on the issues of multilingualism in Canada’s sociopolitical and cultural context and Canada’s geographical location within the Americas. It also discusses ways in which contemporary technology is influencing the way that Canadian literature is taught, produced, and disseminated, and how this affects its readings.

Download or read book The novel english as paradigm of canadian literary identity written by Natalia Rodriguez Nieto and published by Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presente tesis se centra en el género novelístico en lengua inglesa como paradigma de la Identidad literaria canadiense con el fin de analizar su construcción restrictiva por medio de la Recuperación de contribuciones de mujeres y autores étnicos que han sido bien relegadas o bien infravaloradas como agentes literarios relevantes. Esta investigación abarca un periodo que comprende desde la publicación de la primera novela canadiense en inglés, The History of Emily Montague de Frances Brooke en 1769, hasta 1904 año en el que la obra de Sara Jeannette Duncan titulada The Imperialist vió la luz; es decir, desde los comienzos del género en inglés hasta la primera novela modernista. La primera parte engloba el marco teórico general del Nuevo Historicismo, el Feminismo y los Estudios Étnicos puesto que resaltan el papel crucial de la historización de la literatura en la creación de tradiciones e identidades literarias, e impulsan una visión crítica tanto de la producción literaria de mujeres y escritores étnicos como de su consideración. La segunda parte se centra en la historia, tradición e identidad literarias canadienses. Por medio de la novela, se analiza el proceso de antologización de la literatura canadiense en inglés a través de un estudio detallado sobre la presencia/ausencia de autoras y autores étnicos en antologías publicadas entre 1920 y 2004. También se incluyen las contribuciones de críticos/as feministas y/o étnicos puesto que cuestionan axiomas establecidos en la historia, tradición e identidad canadienses y posibilitan el acceso a las obras de estos escritores/as alternativos cuyos diversos sentidos identitarios, de otro modo silenciados, son revelados. Precisamente estos diferentes sentidos de la identidad son el eje de la tercera parte. Desde 1769 a 1904 existen: una primera novela frecuentemente infravalorada escrita Frances Brooke; novelas olvidadas de autoras con gran reconocimiento como Susanna (Strickland) Moodie; escritoras relevantes en la ficción juvenil como es el caso de Agnes Maule Machar, Margaret Murray Robertson y Margaret Marshall Saunders; contribuciones tempranas de autores étnicos como Martin Robinson Delany y Winnifred Eaton; así como novelistas de éxito de la talla Agnes Early Fleming, Lily Dougall, Susan Frances Harrison y Sara Jeannette Duncan. Dándoles voz y resaltando su relevancia, este trabajo demuestra que la literatura canadiense temprana está plagada de autoras y autores étnicos inteligentes, poderosos y reconocidos cuyas aportaciones deben ser re-consideradas si se pretende seguir manteniendo el carácter multicultural y no patriarcal de las letras canadienses. Estas novelas de un autor afroamericano y residente temporal en Canadá, de una mujer canadiense de ascendencia chino-inglesa, y un amplio espectro de mujeres inmigrantes o nativas pone de manifiesto no sólo que Canadá cuenta con un pasado literario sólido y forjado desde la diversidad sino que cuestiona el hecho de que esta herencia literaria todavía necesita ser recuperada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's rich literary heritage, dominated by a multicultural and multilingual presence, reflects the country's unique history and experience. In addition, an emerging body of new writers is redefining both the geographic and metaphorical boundaries of Canadian literature. Coupled with the propagation of digital technologies, Canada's burgeoning publishing industry presents unique challenges for both the introductory and seasoned literary researcher. Literary Research and Canadian Literature: Strategies and Sources provides researchers with the tools to navigate Canada's multifaceted literary scene. This guide addresses the tools and best practices for selecting and evaluating print and electronic sources related to the extensive and varied literature of Canada. Beginning with an overview of the strategies needed to conduct online research, individual chapters examine general literary reference materials; relevant online library catalogs, including national and union library catalogs; scholarly journals; archival collections; microform and digital collections; periodicals, literary magazines, newspapers, and reviews; and Web and electronic resources. Special topics discussed include "little magazines," scholarly gateways, and cultural resources. The guide culminates in a chapter that illustrates the application of the strategies explored to solve a research problem. The strategies discussed within the guide are applicable to both canonical and lesser-known authors, therefore making this work relevant to anyone interested in researching Canadian literature.
