Fictions of Canadian W-P: New Americanists
Autor Arnold E. Davidson, Arnold E. Davidson, Davidsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mai 1994
Davidson details the evolution of the U.S. and Canadian Western forms, tracing the divergence between the two as Canadian writers responded to their unique historical circumstances by reinventing the West as well as the Western and establishing a new literary landscape where author and reader could work out new possibilities of being. Surveying a range of texts by Canada's most innovative writers, with special attention to women writers and Native stories of Coyote, he provides close readings of novels by Howard O'Hagan, Sheila Watson, Robert Kroetsch, Aritha van Herk, Anne Cameron, Peter Such, W. O. Mitchell, Beatrice Culleton, and Thomas King. A unique study, "Coyote Country" offers at one and the same time a theory of Canadian Western fiction, a history of crosscultural paradigms of the West as manifested in novels, and an intensive reading of some of Canada's best literature.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
""Coyote Country" is an outstanding work, one that adds significantly to the discourse surrounding writing from Western Canada. By grounding his discussion in contemporary theory--especially that of post-colonialism--Davidson's argument will be most welcome by those interested in western fiction, both in Canada and the United States."--Robert Thacker, St. Lawrence University
