Nationalism and Literature

The Politics of Culture in Canada and the United States

von Sarah M. Corse

226 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Sarah Corse's analysis of nearly two hundred American and Canadian novels offers a theory of national literatures. Demonstrating that national canon formation occurs in tandem with nation-building, and that canonical novels play a symbolic role in this, this 1996 book accounts for cross-national literary differences, addresses issues of mediation and representation in theories of 'reflection', and illuminates the historically constructed nature of the relationship between literature and the nation-state.
