For the writer who has been freed from prison or escaped threat in his or her homeland, exile presents a whole new set of problems. When one is estranged from friends, family and culture, with a name no one knows, exile can be a lonely, frightening place. PEN Canada has been working very hard over the past few years to develop ways to help these exiled writers make the transition to their new homes, with some encouraging success. In fact, we have been instrumental in establishing guidelines for PEN centres all over the world. We dedicate this annual report to these writers, and would like to introduce you within these pages to some of the brave men and women who have made Canada their new home. -
SCL/ÉLC Then and Now
Up the Hill: SCL/ÉLC Then and Now John Clement Ball ince I first discovered it as a graduate student, Studies in Canadian Literature has always struck me as the CanLit journal that could. In its modest way (a Maritime thing or a Canadian Sthing?), it has quietly and with minimal fanfare helped disseminate and shape the discourse of Canadian literature criticism for four dec- ades — though perhaps at times overshadowed by the confident elder statesjournal Canadian Literature (1959- ) and the hipper-seeming Essays on Canadian Writing (1974-2009), both founded at bigger (and big-city) universities. SCL/ÉLC began in 1975 at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, in a department that had been dominated by Desmond Pacey for three decades until his death that same year. Thanks in no small part to Pacey’s pioneering work and that of many others within and outside UNB, these were heady days for Canadian literature: post- centennial cultural nationalism had been surging for nearly a decade; new writers and literary presses were popping up all over the country; thematic criticism ruled (but not for much longer); and our nation’s fic- tion, poetry, and drama was beginning to become a respectable subject of secondary and postsecondary study. Indeed, my southern Ontario high school had what I believe was its first Canadian literature segment of an English course in my Grade 11 year (1975-76); I remember read- ing Fifth Business, The Stone Angel, and The Watch That Ends the Night and doing a presentation on Gwendolyn MacEwen, whose poetry I con- sidered (in the go-to word of my teenage years) “bizarre.” At my wife’s Halifax high school, though, a full-year CanLit course was introduced only to be threatened with cancellation part way through by provincial officials nervous that the content might not be worthy of Grade 12 English credit. -
