Canada Through American Eyes

Literature and Canadian Exceptionalism
BuchGebunden
238 Seiten

Springererschienen am23.06.20232023
This book explores how Canada is imagined primarily by US writers, and what readers and scholars on both sides of the Canada-US border can learn from these recent depictions by examining a selection of US-authored fiction from 9/11 to the present. The novels - and occasionally paintings, films, and musicals - that are the subject of the book provide a deliberately varied set of case studies to probe how US texts, along with works of art produced on both sides of the Canada-US border, uncover moments in Canadian historical and literary studies that have been buried or occluded to protect Canada's self-representation as an exceptional nation.mehr
