To all women whose silence and absence have also taught me how much we still need to advocate for the greater respect of mothers in society. iii Abstract This dissertation examines the female artist fiction produced between the 1960s and the 1990s in Brazil and Canada to show how women artists, particularly mothers, have challenged the economic, political, religious, and social constrains that prevented their predecessors from succeeding as artists. Although Brazilian and Canadian women writers celebrate women’s increasing participation in the arts in the second half of the twentieth century, I argue that they question any simplistic resolutions to the conflict that women still perceived in their private and personal lives during that period. A woman’s ability to combine her female and artistic identities depends on the maternal and artistic roles she inherits from her female ancestors and the discourses of motherhood and art that society imposes on her during the time she pursues a career. Specific cultural patterns in Brazil and Canada also influence these two factors. Brazilian and Canadian women have conveyed particular discourses of femininity and female art across generations while their societies and artistic communities have produced unique responses to women’s identities and cultural productions. As I will show, these two developments affect the images of woman/mother and artist that Brazilian and Canadian writers create in their texts, leading their protagonists to overcome the conflicts between art and life in strikingly different ways. iv Acknowledgement To my dear father and sister, José and Aline, for your unconditional support and for understanding my choices.

Gabrielle Roy, Margaret Laurence, Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Carol Shields, Clarice Lispector, Rachel de Queiroz, Lygia Fagundes Telles, Lya Luft, Patricia Bins, and Helena Parente Cunha are but a few examples of women writers who contributed to the tradition of the Künstlerroman , an extended literary form developed in the eighteenth century. By creating a woman artist in their works, Brazilian and Canadian female writers celebrated their generation’s participation in the production of their cultures, especially in comparison to their predecessors. Nevertheless, women writers in both literary traditions also challenged their generation’s ability to make choices and find easy resolutions to the conflict between being a woman and being an artist, roles that often have been defined as incompatible. Although women artists’ personal motivation helps them to develop their potential in their private and public spheres and find harmony between them, external factors also support or restrict their ability to do so. In their novels and short fiction, Brazilian and Canadian women show that the discourses of femininity and the ideas of female artistic identity affect how their protagonists perceive the relationship between art and life. Their central characters are exposed to external constructions of woman and artist in two ways: through their female predecessors’ behaviours and attitudes when the central characters are children 2 and through other characters’ views, opinions, and judgements when the protagonists become mothers. The protagonists of the novels express their desires and needs to challenge confining views about their roles as daughters, housewives, mothers, and women artists, but significant external factors limit or enhance their ability to challenge those cultural and societal expectations. The female and artistic roles that their mothers, grandmothers, and other female predecessors play are passed on to the central characters when they are young, influencing their perceptions

I mean to be with art—I always thought that was a wonderful phrase of Gilbert & George’s, ‘to be with art is all we ask.’” How can one be fully with art? In other words, can art be experienced directly in a society that has produced so much discourse and built so many structures to guide the spectator? Gilbert & George’s answer is to consider art as a deity: “Oh Art where did you come from, who mothered such a strange being. For what kind of people are you: are you for the feeble-of-mind, are you for the poor-at-heart, art for those with no soul. Are you a branch of nature’s fantastic network or are you an invention of some ambitious man? Do you come from a long line of arts? For every artist is born in the usual way and we have never seen a young artist.

  • Uncovering the Grotesque in Fiction by Alice Munro and Gabrielle Roy
    Uncovering the Grotesque in Fiction by Alice Munro and Gabrielle Roy Lorna Hutchison he grotesque aesthetic is at play in a diversity of fiction of the last two hundred years, including Jeremias Gotthelf’s The Black Spider (1842), Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of TDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (1915), and numerous works by Flannery O’Connor in the mid-twentieth century, to name only a few. Today, the grotesque is a part of the art of many of Canada’s authors and has burgeoned over the last forty years into such an important aesthetic — and strategy, as I will describe it here — in this country’s body of works that the literary theory that helps read- ers, critics, and teachers to explore the many concerns, processes, and, most importantly here, effects of the literature has not kept up with its developments. The prominence of the grotesque and the doors it opens to questions of spirituality, ethics, ways of knowing, and so much more, prompts the research question What does and does not “qualify” as literature of the grotesque? Consider two quintessential characteristics of the grotesque: dual- ity and deformity. In the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, for example, the divided nature and deformity of Stevenson’s Jekyll-Hyde character clearly fulfills these criteria, right down to the contradiction of Jekyll-Hyde’s ominous smile: “Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile” (17). One of the authors under study here, Alice Munro, creates the aesthetic through depicting contradictory states of life and death, or life and terminal illness.

Recent Canadian Poetry HUGO MCPHERSON 071 Gabrielle Roy GERARD TOUGAS Bilan D'Une Littérature Naissante DWIGHT MACDONALD On Five Canadian Magazines A QUARTERLY OF CRITICISM AND R€VI€W A NEW MAGAZINE always appears in a double guise. It is in one sense the arriving guest, anxious to exert whatever attractions it may possess on its potential host — the particular public to which it has chosen to appeal. But at the same time it sets out to become a host itself, offering its hospitality to writers and their ideas, and ready to welcome to the salon of its pages the most brilliant and the most erudite of guests. During the past months we have spent much time and energy pressing the claims of Canadian Literature as a potential guest of the literary pub- lic of our country. We have pointed out that it will be the first review devoted only to the study of Canadian writers and writing. It will — we have added — throw a concentrated light on a field that has never been illuminated systematically by any previous periodical; and we have em- phasized the kind of services it will provide for writers, scholars, librarians and — by no means least — the curious reader. By the very fact of appearing, a magazine renders obsolete such pro- phecies and projections. It exists, and must become its own justification. But its very existence may have been rendered possible only by the faith of people and institutions who have been willing to become — in one way or another — its hosts.

The growing up novels being explored range across the entire period from Anne of Green Gables (1908) to Lives of Girls and Women (1971). The kind of novel analyzed is comparable in many ways to what the Germans call the Entwick1ungsroman, the novel-of-devel- opment, which in English has come under the all-encompassing term, the Bildungsroman. Each novel investigated begins some• where in the protagonist's childhood, passes into and through the troubled stage of adolescence, and concludes with some con• nection to adulthood.
