A
landmark
of
nationalist
fiction,
Hugh
MacLennan’s
Two
Solitudes
is
the
story
of
two
peoples
within
one
nation,
each
with
its
own
legend
and
ideas
of
what
a
nation
should
be.
In
his
vivid
portrayals
of
human
drama
in
First
World
War–era
Quebec,
MacLennan
focuses
on
two
individuals
whose
love
increases
the
prejudices
that
surround
them
until
they
discover
that
“love
consists
in
this,
that
two
solitudes
protect,
and
touch
and
greet
each
other.”
The
novel
centres
around
Paul
Tallard
and
his
struggles
in
reconciling
the
differences
between
the
English
identity
of
his
love
Heather
Methuen
and
her
family,
and
the
French
identity
of
his
father.
Against
this
backdrop
the
country
is
forming,
the
chasm
between
French
and
English
communities
growing
deeper.
Published
in
1945,
the
novel
popularized
the
use
of
“two
solitudes”
as
referring
to
a
perceived
lack
of
communication
between
English-
and
French-speaking
Canadians.

Recenzii
“Here
is
the
substance
of
Canada,
her
countryside,
her
cities,
her
conflicting
cultures,
and,
above
all,
her
people.”
The
Canadian
Forum
“Two
Solitudes
is
MacLennan’s
best-known
novel,
one
of
those
rare
books
whose
title
alone
shaped
how
this
country
speaks
and
thinks.”
The
Walrus
“Two
Solitudes,
Hugh
MacLennan’s
1945
masterpiece,
sets
out
to
do
nothing
less
than
explain
Quebec
to
the
rest
of
Canada
and
harmonize
the
dominion
of
future
citizens.”
