While both novels have been regarded as important works of Canadian literature, As For Me and My House is currently regarded as a canonical novel and The Mountain and the Valley is not. This study examines the notion of the Canadian canon and its relation to Buckler’s and Ross’s novels to show how the specific case of Ross and Buckler illustrates the process of Canadian canon formation. Through a review of the critical work produced on each novel, an understanding of trends in Canadian critical practice and theory, and the application of canon theory, this thesis examines the reasons for the differences in the reception and status of the two works. This thesis argues that the interplay between critical trends, academic interests, and literary value ultimately determines the canonical status of a text. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Francis Zichy, for his assistance and encouragement with my thesis. His suggestions and comments helped me greatly in the development, writing, and re-writing of my thesis. I would also like to thank Dr. Janice Fiamengo who sparked my interest in Canadian literature and issues of canonicity and who is helping me continue to study this area. I am grateful for the support and assistance I received from my family and friends: my parents, Larry and Audrey Hughes, and my dear friends, Garry Drake and Amie Shirkie. Their continued support and suggestions were invaluable to me. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS PERMISSION TO USE ................................................................................................... i ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS..............................................................................................iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................... iv 1.

CONCLUSION - Looking Forward....................................................................... 91 WORKS CITED ........................................................................................................... 93 v INTRODUCTION This is a study of the critical reception and canonical status of two Canadian texts, Ernest Buckler’s The Mountain and the Valley (1952) and Sinclair Ross’s As For Me and My House (1941). The fluctuations in the status of each novel can be clearly seen by following the history of the critical reception of each. There are several remarkable similarities in both the personal and writing lives of Buckler and Ross and in the histories of the novels, yet Ross’s novel has been far more widely read and discussed than Buckler’s. Judging from the amount of recent criticism on each novel, As For Me and My House is currently regarded as a canonical novel and The Mountain and the Valley is not. The differences in the reception and status of the two novels raise questions about the nature and motivation of Canadian criticism of Canadian literature and Canadian canon formation. This study will examine the critical reception of The Mountain and the Valley and As For Me and My House to provide a case study of two instances of canon- making and address the larger issues surrounding the making, unmaking, and remaking of the Canadian canon. An examination of the critical reception of As For Me and My House and The Mountain and the Valley reveals that the canonization of a Canadian book is dependent upon many factors. Critical interests and trends in critical practice and theory strongly influence the status of a text. Despite early positive receptions of the novel, critical fashions following the late 1970s did not favour The Mountain and the Valley and, the novel is currently non-canonical. On the other hand, As For Me and My House has benefited from critical trends and, over time, has become established as a canonical text. Another important contributing factor is the literary value of a work, which may be recognized gradually. This case study will argue that the interplay between critical trends, academic interests, and literary value ultimately determines the canonical status of a text. Buckler and Ross have interesting parallels in their personal and literary histories. Both men were born in 1908 and lived in rural

  • John O'connor
    Jimmy, Sinclair, and Jim:... 31 JIMMY, SINCLAIR, AND JIM: ON THE BIOGRAPHICAL TRAIL OF JAMES SINCLAIR ROSS John J. O’Connor University of Toronto The deaths of Earle Birney and Robertson Davies late in 1995 reminded readers of Canadian literature that the old order—those writers born before the First World War—was quickly passing. Of the major figures born in the early years of this century (Birney, Davies, Callaghan, MacLennan, Ross), only Ross was still living at the beginning of 1996, albeit in very poor health in a nursing home in Vancouver. Sadly, he too has since died—on February 29, at the age of 88. Each of his contemporaries named above has been the subject of either a full- scale biography or at least a substantial monograph in the Canadian Biography Series (ECW Press). The 1990s have been a period of active interest in the subject of literary biography in Canada, and the time for such studies, long overdue, seems to be very much at hand now. The growing popularity of the Biography Series at the annual International Festival of Authors in Toronto strongly suggests readers’ keen appetite for still more biographical fare. Some members of the English Department at the University of Toronto have been actively at work in the field of literary biography for many years: in addition to Elspeth Cameron’s extensive investigations of the lives of Hugh MacLennan, Irving Layton, and Earle Birney, there Ilha do Desterro Florianópolis nº 45 p.031-043 jul./dez. 2003 32 John J.
