"This book offers a comprehensive and lively introduction to major writers, genres,
and topics in Canadian literature. Addressing traditional assumptions and current
issues, contributors pay attention to the social, political, and economic developments
that have informed literary events. Broad surveys of fiction, drama, and poetry are
complemented by chapters on Aboriginal writing, autobiography, literary criticism,
writing by women, and the emergence of urban writing in a country historically defined
by its regions. Also discussed are genres that have a special place in Canadian literature,
such as nature-writing, exploration- and travel-writing, and short fiction. Although
the emphasis is on literature in English, a substantial chapter on francophone writing
is included"
