Opis

This collection of essays, in English, except for four items in German and French, provides an intercultural perspective on North American (including Quebecois) literature. This works covers such diverse subjects as "Canada and American Slavery, " the Acadian theme in "Longfellow et Antonine Maillet, " and "The Western Love Code: Faulkner, Hebert, Hemingway, and Ondaatje."

The continental context also pervades treatments of story cycles, and the long poem, and novels, including those that feature Indian wars, sentimentalism, the West, and modern picaros.
