This volume examines the social, political and cultural forces that have contributed to the shaping of a distinct identity of Canadian Literature, and explores the characteristic cadences discernible in some of the major Canadian writers. Of its two sections, the former carries, among others, essays on the making of Canada, the dialectics of centric and eccentric debate on it, and the ethnic variety and cultural pluralism of the land nurtured by its independent as also interdependent society. Against this ambience of ‘disunity as unity,’ the studies of individual authors in the latter section reveal varied ‘angles of vision’ and ‘many lines of sight’ in their works. The volume investigates and testifies how the Canadian Literature imbibes and disseminates sharable human experience and values.
