Book Synopsis The Canadian Short Story by : Reingard M. Nischik
Download or read book The Canadian Short Story written by Reingard M. Nischik and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2007 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the 1890s, reaching its first full realization by modernist writers in the 1920s, and brought to its heyday during the Canadian Renaissance starting in the 1960s, the short story has become Canada's flagship genre. It continues to attract the country's most accomplished and innovative writers today, among them Margaret Atwood, Mavis Gallant, Alice Munro, Carol Shields, and many others. Yet in contrast to the stature and popularity of the genre and the writers who partake in it, surprisingly little literary criticism and theory has been devoted to the Canadian short story. This collection redresses that imbalance by providing the first collection of critical interpretations of a range of thirty well-known and often-anthologized Canadian short stories from the genre's beginnings through the twentieth century. A historical survey of the genre introduces the volume and a timeline comparing the genre's development in Canada, the US, and Great Britain via representative examples completes it. The collection is geared both to specialists in and to students of Canadian literature. For the latter it is of particular benefit that the volume provides not only a collection of interpretations, but a comprehensive introduction to the history of the Canadian short story. Reingard M. Nischik is professor and chair of American Literature at the University of Constance, Germany.
Book Synopsis Modern Realism in English-Canadian Fiction by : Colin Hill
Download or read book Modern Realism in English-Canadian Fiction written by Colin Hill and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the scholarship on twentieth-century Canadian literature has argued that English-Canadian fiction was plagued by backwardness and an inability to engage fully with the movement of modernism that was so prevalent in British and American fiction and poetry. Modern Realism in English-Canadian Fiction re-evaluates Canadian literary culture to posit that it has been misunderstood because it is a distinct genre, a regional form of the larger international modernist movement. Examining literary magazines, manifestos, archival documents, and major writers such as Frederick Philip Grove, Morley Callaghan, and Raymond Knister, Colin Hill identifies a 'modern realism' that crosses regions as well as urban and rural divides. A bold reading of the modern-realist aesthetic and an articulate challenge to several enduring and limiting myths about Canadian writing, Modern Realism in English- Canadian Fiction will stimulate important debate in literary circles everywhere.

Book Synopsis Literary Impostors by : Rosmarin Heidenreich
Download or read book Literary Impostors written by Rosmarin Heidenreich and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first half of the twentieth century, a number of Canadian authors were revealed to have faked the identities that made them famous. What is extraordinary about these writers is that they actually "became," in everyday life, characters they had themselves invented. Many of their works were simultaneously fictional and autobiographical, reflecting the duality of their identities. In Literary Impostors, Rosmarin Heidenreich tells the intriguing stories, both the "true" and the fabricated versions, of six Canadian authors who obliterated their pasts and re-invented themselves: Grey Owl was in fact an Englishman named Archie Belaney; Will James, the cowboy writer from the American West, was the Quebec-born francophone Ernest Dufault; the prairie novelist Frederick Philip Grove turned out to be the German writer and translator Felix Paul Greve. Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, Onoto Watanna, and Sui Sin Far were the chosen identities of three mixed-race writers whose given names were, respectively, Sylvester Long, Winnifred Eaton, and Edith Eaton. Heidenreich argues that their imposture, in some cases not discovered until long after their deaths, was not fraudulent in the usual sense: these writers forged new identities to become who they felt they really were. In an age of proliferating cyber-identities and controversial claims to ancestry, Literary Impostors raises timely questions involving race, migrancy, and gender to illustrate the porousness of the line that is often drawn between an author's biography and the fiction he or she produces.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Cultural Mediation by : Paul Hjartarson
Download or read book The Politics of Cultural Mediation written by Paul Hjartarson and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2003-05-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translators mediate between cultures; they negotiate the transfer of meaning from one word and world to another. Writers who migrate, uprooting themselves from one world and settling in another, also mediate between cultures and are mediated by them. This collection of essays explores the contact zones produced by the migrations of two German-born cultural figures: New York Dada poet and artist Else Plötz (1874–1927), better known as Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven or simply "the Baroness"; and writer and translator Felix Paul Greve (1879–1948), aka the Canadian author Frederick Philip Grove. Both figures negotiated languages beyond their mother tongue (German); both moved between geographic and cultural worlds; both produced cultural works in their adopted countries (the United States and Canada); and both "translated" themselves into new contexts. The Politics of Cultural Mediation features contributions by Richard Cavell, Jutta Ernst, Irene Gammel, Paul Hjartarson, Klaus Martens and Paul Morris and includes Morris’s translation of Greve’s "Randarabesken Zu Oscar Wilde."

Book Synopsis Canadian Literature in English by : W. J. Keith

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. J. Keith has chosen to ignore utterly both the `popular' at the one extreme (Robert Service, Lucy Maud Montgomery) as well as the `avant-garde' at the other (bpnichol, Anne Carson) in favour of those authors whose style lends itself to the simple pleasure of reading, and to that end Keith dedicates his history to `all those -- including those of the general reading public whose endangered status is much lamented -- who recognize and celebrate the dance of words.'

Download or read book Unnamed Country written by Dick Harrison and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 1977 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have an idea of what the Great Plains did to the people who settled there but know little about the analogous process north of the 49th parallel, or how it was reflected in fiction. Dick Harrison's Unnamed Country fills this gap. Harrison traces the varying literary responses to the Canadian prairies, from the bewilderment of the first English-speaking visitors, who saw the country in essentially negative terms -- no wood, no water -- down to the contemporary novelists who are employing sophisticated modem fictional techniques to reinterpret the whole experience from a new perspective. Between these two ends of the literary continuum he finds the early writers of fiction too loaded down with what he calls "excess cultural baggage" brought from Britain or eastern Canada to see the country as it was; the early twentieth-century writers, bemused by the myth of the garden, who portrayed the prairies subdued and fruitful; the prairie realists of the 1920s and 1930s, akin to O. E. Rolvaag in their tragic view; and their contemporaries, the popular novelists, who depicted the pioneering process in more affirmative tones.
