  • The Champlain Myth in Early Canadian Literature Andre John Narbonne
    ariel: a review of international english literature ISSN 0004-1327 Vol. 42 No. 2 Pages 75–98 Copyright © 2012 An Aesthetic of Companionship: The Champlain Myth in Early Canadian Literature Andre John Narbonne In a letter to William Douw Lighthall on November 18, 1888, Charles G.D. Roberts describes the activities at the Haliburton Society at King’s College in Windsor, Nova Scotia. “I talk Canadianism all the time to the members,” he writes. “We have a literary programme, of Canadian color each night, & we smoke, & drink lime juice & raspberry vinegar, all thro[ugh] the meeting. I am sort of permanent Pres[iden]t, as it were” (Collected Letters 96; italics in original). In the letter’s postscript, Roberts asks Lighthall if he would like to join the society and names Bliss Carman as one of its members. According to the Oxford English Dictionary the word “Canadianism” first entered into the English language in 1875, and Roberts’ letter to Lighthall indicates that by 1888 it was already the byword of a new literary project—a project that was openly and idealis- tically nationalistic,1 and, clearly, important both to the acknowledged leader of the Confederation group of poets and to the most important anthologist of Canadian literature in the post-Confederation period. Until the ascension of modernism in Canada and the rise of profession- alism, anthologists/literary historians such as Lighthall were enormously influential in determining critical trends, and a nationalistic preoccupa- tion with identifying and promulgating a literary tradition is a salient feature of Canadian literary criticism after Confederation.

    Canadian Literature at Home and Abroad: International Contexts of W.D. Lighthall’s Songs of the Great Dominion (1889) and Robert Weaver’s Canadian Short Stories (1960) Carole Gerson he recently published collection of essays, Anthologizing Canadian Literature: Theoretical and Critical Perspectives (2015), enhances editor Robert Lecker’s groundbreaking Tbook, Keepers of the Code: English-Canadian Literary Anthologies and the Representation of Nation (2013), with in-depth studies by other scholars who address the significance of anthologies in Canadian literary stud- ies by focusing on the contents, editing, production, reception, and/ or cultural contexts of specific examples of the genre. Supporting this aspect of Canada’s literary history is the impressive enumerative bibli- ography of English-Canadian literary anthologies, issued by Lecker in 1997 with the assistance of Colin Hill and Peter Lipert, that lists more than two thousand English-Canadian literary anthologies published from 1837 to 1997. In these endeavours, scholars have concentrated on the Canadian contexts of Canadian literary anthologies, exemplified in Janet Friskney’s chapter on the publishing history of this genre, which analyzes the 94.5% of Lecker’s bibliographic entries that were issued in Canada (184). Missing from all of this fine scholarship is attention to the role of off-shore producers of several important national anthologies that owe their existence to the international reach of British publishers. This essay argues that the full story of Canadian literary anthologies requires recognition of non-Canadian instances of their production, best understood in relation to the aims of each volume’s publishing house and the goals of its editor.

  • The Habitus of Mackenzie King
    The Habitus of Mackenzie King: Canadian Artists, Cultural Capital and the Struggle for Power Anton Reinhold Wagner A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Theatre and Performance Studies York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada September, 2014 © Anton Reinhold Wagner, 2014 Abstract This dissertation analyzes the struggle between William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister (1922-1930, 1935-1948), and Canadian artists to define and determine the nature and distribution of arts and culture in Canada prior to the 1949 Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Sciences. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of habitus, “fields” of knowledge and power, and religious, social and cultural capital, the dissertation analyzes the central paradox of why—despite his decades-long involvement in half-a-dozen artistic disciplines—King failed to implement cultural policies as Prime Minister that would have benefited Canadian artists and the arts and culture in Canada. The dissertation applies Pierre Bourdieu’s model of social change in which “priests” with conservation strategies and charismatic “prophets” with subversion strategies compete among the “laity” for consumers of their respective symbolic goods to document how artists organized locally and nationally to accumulate social, cultural and political capital in their attempt to compel the federal government to implement their cultural objectives—state support for the arts. The dissertation posits that Mackenzie King’s inability to control his sexual impulses led him to espouse a conception of art whose primary function was to project Christian character and ideals.

  • Reprints and the Reading Public
    REPRINTS AND THE READING PUBLIC George Woodcock I DON'T THINK Jack McClelland has ever quite forgiven me for a review I wrote and published in Canadian Literature thirteen years ago, in the summer issue of i960. I was discussing the third batch of four titles in the New Canadian Library. (The Library and Canadian Literature are close con- temporaries, as students of our cultural history might profitably note). I had been greatly encouraged by the series as an idea, and on the whole with the first eight selections which Malcolm Ross, the General Editor, had made. They in- cluded — the record by now has become literary history — such basic Canadian books as As for Me and My House, Over Prairie Trails, Barometer Rising and The Tin Flute; my own assessment of the eight was six bullseyes and two misses, and since I revised my view of Such is my Beloved shortly afterwards, my score- board for those first eight titles would now be seven palpable hits, though I still confess to being quite unable to appreciate Charles G. D. Roberts' The Last Barrier, perhaps because it was imposed on me with excessive enthusiasm at the age of ten by a Canadophil father in England. Given such a fine beginning, the third quartet of the New Canadian Library was no less than terrifyingly bathetic. A second Leacock (in the first twelve titles), dull volumes by Raddall and Drummond, and a collection of Confederation poets with too much Carman and too little Scott! The real disappointment was that there was nothing here to represent the vital trends in Canadian writing

Each period has the same integrity, the same skilful moderation that is aware of the continuity of its heritage and a recalcitrance of personality. This division of Canadian poetry does not mean the water- tight compartmentalization, rather, it is a continuous growth of Canadian poetry contributing to the cumulative identity that is Canadian. Canadian poetic culture is a growth having its first stirrings of poetics culture, emergence of a national poetic culture, transitional poetic culture, modernist poetic culture and post modernist or contemporary poetic culture. 1 1.2 Pre-Confederation Period The pre-Confederation period had the first stirrings of a poetic culture before Canada became a nation.

  • Naturalizing Canada As a “Modern” Nation: Concepts of Political Association in Late-Nineteenth Century English Canada
    NATURALIZING CANADA AS A “MODERN” NATION: CONCEPTS OF POLITICAL ASSOCIATION IN LATE-NINETEENTH CENTURY ENGLISH CANADA By Peter Price A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen's University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2014 Copyright © Peter Price, 2014 Abstract The meaning and future of the new political jurisdiction created in 1867 called Canada were far from obvious or certain for those who witnessed Confederation and its first decades of development. This study looks at some of the ways in which the creation of a new Canadian state in 1867 influenced ways of thinking about the nature of political association and civic identity. Based on a thorough analysis of English-Canadian magazines published between 1867 and 1900, as well as major books and pamphlets written about the constitution in Canada, many by the same authors, it focuses on the English-Canadian intellectuals and public writers who tended to write most systemically about such issues. This study assesses changing ideas of political association in these sources through an analysis of the key political concepts of constitution, nationality, citizenship, and loyalty, each of which form the basis of separate chapters. It argues that ideas of “modern” political association developed by these concepts often led to concerted efforts to describe the Canadian state as a legitimate and natural container of civic affiliation. While many described these concepts as increasingly defined by the relationship between the individual and the territorial, constitutional state, they continued to be guided by assumptions about racial identity and lines of exclusion.
