Description:

Description: This course will focus on the major thematic concerns that have shaped Canadian literature from the pre-Confederation era to the present day. Literary examples will be drawn from works concerned with ethnicity, colonization, the wilderness, identity formation, and the Francophone/Anglophone divide. Primary attention will be given to texts focusing on the world of work as it has been envisioned by Canadians. Selected poetry and prose from diverse, canonical authors such as Frances Brooke, Susanna Moodie, Isabella Valancy Crawford, Charles Sangster, John Richardson, Joy Kogawa, Alice Munroe, Margaret Atwood, David Adams Richard, and Yann Martel will be examined. Depending on the season, a day trip to King's Landing - a living museum of Canadian history about three hours from Bangor - could be undertaken.Prerequisites: EH123 AND EH124 AND EH200 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
