Beskrivning
A History of Canadian Fiction is the first one-volume history to chart its development from earliest times to the present day. Recounting the struggles and the glories of this burgeoning area of investigation, it explains Canada's literary growth alongside its remarkable history. Highlighting the people who have shaped and are shaping Canadian literary culture, the book examines such major figures as Mavis Gallant, Mordecai Richler, Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, and Thomas King, concluding with young authors of today whose major successes reflect their indebtedness to their Canadian forbearers.

Recensioner i media

'Reading this book is every bit as enjoyable as reading one of the hundreds of novels which Staines cites in this first comprehensive history of Canadian fiction in English from its beginnings to the present day. Atwood, Munro, and Ondaatje are global literary celebrities, but nothing comes out of the blue, and Staines provides an indispensable historical and cultural frame for understanding their significance in the evolution of the exceptionally diverse Canadian literary tradition. This book transforms our thinking about Canadian fiction.' Coral Ann Howells, University of London
