What Is Québécois Literature?: reflections on the literary history of Francophone writing in Canada by Rosemary ChapmanISBN: 9781846319730
Publication Date: 2013-12-15
The question "What is Quebecois literature?" may seem innocent and answerable, yet Rosemary Chapman's compelling study shows that to answer it is to chart the cultural history of French Canada, to put francophone writing in Canada in postcolonial context and to ask whether literary history,with its focus on the nation, is in fact obsolete.This remarkable book will be compulsory reading for scholars well-versed in francophone postcolonial studies and will also act as an ideal introduction for Anglophone scholars of Canadian literature.

The Farm Novel in North America: Genre and Nation in the United States, English Canada, and French Canada, 1845-1945 (European Studies in North American Literature and Culture) by Florian FreitagISBN: 9781571135377
Publication Date: 2013-12-02
In this volume, Florian Freitag provides the first history of the genre in North America from its beginnings in the middle of the nineteenth century to its apogee in French Canada around the middle of the twentieth. Analyses of a large number of farm novels written in French and English, Freitag examines how North American farm novels draw on the history of farming in nineteenth-century North America as well as on the national self-conceptions of the United States, English Canada, and French Canada, portraying farmers as national icons and the farm as a symbolic space of the American, English Canadian, and French Canadian nations.

Narratology and Text: subjectivity and identity in New France and Québécois literature by Paul PerronISBN: 9780802036889
Publication Date: 2003-03-01
In Narratology and Text, Paul Perron examines the role that literature plays in the formation of French Canadian identity. Perron presents a narratological and semiotic analysis of canonical non-fictional and fictional texts from New France and Quebec, and illustrates how citizens of French Catholic origins living in Canada have constructed their identity by defining the self as part of a closed community founded in race, language, and religion, and as radically opposed to the other, constituted as an omnipresent heterogeneous threat to the homogenous group.

Surrealism and Quebec Literature by Andre G. Bourassa; Mark Czarnecki (Translator)ISBN: 9780802023360
Publication Date: 1984-06-01
Andre Bourassa, in this important work, underlines the role played by artists and poets during the 1940s and the relationships among various groups. But his emphasis is on the literature of Quebec, from the first novel in 1837 (also the year of Quebec's first revolution), through the Quiet Revolution of the 1950s and 1960s, to the present. In manifestos, poems, articles, and theatre pieces he examines the nature of Quebec surrealism and its international context.
