URL : http:// journals.openedition.org/jsse/1569 This text was automatically generated on 3 December 2020. © All rights reserved The Tales of Frederick Philip Grove 1 The Tales of Frederick Philip Grove Andrew James 1 The twenty-three stories in the original version of Frederick Philip Grove’s Tales from the Margin comprise a cycle: characters recur and the locale is limited to Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta: the Canadian Prairies. This paper will examine how our perception of Grove’s cycle alters when the stories are viewed as tales. This is the label the author preferred. As he explained in his essay “The Novel,” while the short story deals with characters and incidents “excised” from the “social body” (It Needs to Be Said 120), the tale is concerned with the “border-provinces of human life” or life “on the margin.” Because tales belong to the oral tradition, the style of oration and identity of the teller are also important. Chaucer democratized tales by proving that anyone, irrespective of economic class or educational background, could tell a tale so long as it had sustaining interest to command an audience; Poe used the genre as an invitation to a fantastic, psychologically layered fictional world; and Washington Irving employed narrators who were dramatic figures in their own right, filtering his tales through them (Fallon xvii).

  • A Life and Four Landscapes
    A LIFE AND FOUR LANDSCAPES Frederick John Niven William H. New IRE1 REDERIC] K JOHN NIVEN is today almost unknown. That fact alone would warrant a critical investigation of him, but a study thus motivated could easily end by being merely an arid exercise. Fortunately, in Niven's case, the justifications for reappraisal are many. He warrants it because he was un- usual in Canadian letters. He lived by his writing without being a hack; he was a conscious prose stylist at a time when stylists were few; he was concerned with problems which affected his time, not (for all his apparently "regional" settings) with merely local issues; he was a man with wit, humanity, intelligence, and a willingness to exercise all three — and if this caused him to rebel quietly against orthodox social codes, to emigrate from the London literary world of the 1910's to the hinterland of British Columbia, and to dare to write honestly about the life that he knew existed, then so much the better for his fiction. He was also the friend of such diverse literary figures as Hugh Walpole, Christopher Morley, and I. A. Richards; the recipient (until he emigrated) of regular and favourable re- views both in the TLS and from such critics as Rebecca West; and the colleague of John Murray Gibbon and John Buchan. For all this, the man is a paradox, and difficult to assess. It is probably inevitable that thirty-three books of fiction, two of verse, and a vast array of non-fiction should vary in quality ; sometimes his characters were nothing more than stereotypes, and sometimes, too, he found difficulty in reconciling the fiction he was writing with the facts in which his work found its base.

  • Book Reviews
    Book Reviews Desmond Pacey, ed. The Letters of Frederick Philip Grove, Toronto and Buffalo: University of Toronto Press, 1976. pp. 584. $25.00. On January 15, 1941, a 23-year-old professor of English at Brandon College wrote to Frederick Philip Grove in Simcoe, Ontario, requesting information needed for a radio talk on the former Manitoba novelist. Just out from Cambridge, the young scholar had been asked to participate in "The University of the Air" series, to which the University of Manitoba was contributing a number of "Manitoba Sketches." "I was asked to cover the field of Manitoba literature," the professor recalls, "[and] as the only Manitoba literature I had then read was Grove's novels, I made [his] novels the SUbject of my talk." It is likely that Grove did not hear this talk, broadcast over local Manitoba stations, but this exchange of letters marked the beginning of Desmond Pacey's formal study of Grove, which culminated in his book-length study of the novelist in 1945. In the thirty-five years that have elapsed since that first letter, Pacey has been singularly dedicated to keeping Grove's name before the public, and though he has been upstaged recently by the sleuthing of Douglas Spettigue in regards to Grove's life, his body of critical assessments about his fiction still stands as a requisite for the Grove scholar. It is therefore fitting that Pacey should have capped his career with this monumental collection of Grove's letters, completed just before his untimely death on July 4, 1975, which to my knowledge is, aside from the Selected Letters of Malcolm Lowry, the only collection of letters ever published on a major Canadian literary figure.

  • Martha Ostenso, Literary History, and the Scandinavian Diaspora
    Martha Ostenso, literary history, and the Scandinavian diaspora Literary history […] is governed by profound metanarrative designs. It has a didactic purpose that is aimed at constructing an idea of a nation, and it does so by giving it a certain form in both time and space. It requires clarity of origin and precise delimitation. As history, it constructs a past by selecting texts (canonization) and commemorating events so that the nation may be imaginatively shaped […] into a kind of central protagonist that is born, grows, and reaches a certain maturity. (10) - E. D. Blodgett, Five-Part Invention: A History of Literary History in Canada Migrant and diasporic writers pose particular challenges to the narratives of nation constructed in literary histories. Their critical reputations often reveal the way that historians of literature police the borders of their imagined nations, rejecting certain writers on the basis of ethnic origin or place of residence, and even ignoring particular texts because of where they are set. The exclusionary practices of literary history, and the ability of migrant writers to destabilise constructs of nation and also region, are explored in this article through a case study of Martha Ostenso, a Norwegian-born writer who lived at different times in both Canada and the US. Her first novel, Wild Geese (1925), was remarkably successful and won a high-profile American prize.[i] According to the standard narrative of her career presented in Canadian literary histories, Ostenso produced an early classic of Canadian prairie literature, and then abandoned Canada for the States, where she published a succession of inferior books with US settings.

  • Valedictions: Pacey and Crawley
    VALEDICTIONS Pacey and Crawley IT IS A CURIOUS THING about living in Canada, in its literary world, that one can know a person, work with him, correspond with him, share some close thoughts with him, and yet, distances and our way of life being what they are, realize when it all comes to an end how rarely one has met him in the flesh. Recently two men have died who played great roles in the development of literature in Canada, mediational as well as creative roles, and I have felt the sadness one feels when friends depart. And yet, when I come to remember, I realize that I met Alan Crawley once only in the flesh, twenty-six years ago when I first came back to Canada from England, and that I can have sat and talked with Desmond Pacey no more than three times in the last decade. Nevertheless, there was so much in common, so much in shared thoughts and hopes that went beyond mere links of letters or of disembodied voices at the ends of wires, that I believe I knew them, and know I valued and understood what they sought to achieve and in such large measure did achieve. Of Desmond Pacey, two men who in fact knew him more closely and directly than I did, Roy Daniells and Fred Cogswell, are writing in the pages of this issue. I myself have said what I feel I must of him in an article published recently in the Toronto Globe and Mail, in which I remarked on his importance as a literary historian, on his more limited but genuine virtues as a critic, on his role in encour- aging younger scholars and fostering literary magazines, on the long unchallenged position of his Creative Writing in Canada as "the only up-to-date handbook of our literary history that we had available." I remarked that "Pacey's role in arousing interest in Canadian writers and writing has been enormous, and rivalled EDITORIAL in recent years, I think, only by that of A.

  • The Outlook for Canadian Literature
    THE OUTLOOK FOR CANADIAN LITERATURE Desmond Pacey 1I OR OVER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY now, I have been engaged intermittently in the task of publicly taking the pulse of Canadian litera- ture. I am not quite so naive as to think that my activity in this regard has been of any particular help either to the patient or to the public, but it has been a source of innocent amusement for me, and at least I have the satisfaction of knowing that the patient is in rather better health than when my diagnosis be- gan. This is a statement which not all doctors could make with equal assurance. It was in December 1938 that I made my first and very tentative examination. I had a few months before arrived in Cambridge, England, as a Research Stu- dent in English Literature. Although I had only lived in Canada seven years, I had conceived a deep love for the country and a considerable although by no means profound admiration for its literature. I was annoyed to find that my fellow-students at Cambridge were not only ignorant of a Canadian literature, but pretended to believe that it did not exist. I therefore wrote, and published in The Cambridge Review, an article optimistically entitled "At Last — A Cana- dian Literature". There was no question mark after that title : it was an arrogant assertion, rather than a modest question, and the symptom, no doubt, of a youth- ful brashness which I have not even yet succeeded in eliminating from my personality. The theme of that first article was that after a long period of derivativeness, Canadian literature was at last finding distinctive voices and distinctive modes of utterance.
