    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-15962-4 — The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature Edited by Eva-Marie Kröller Frontmatter More Information The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature This fully revised second edition of The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature offers a comprehensive introduction to major writers, genres, and topics. For this edition several chapters have been completely re-written to relect major developments in Canadian literature since 2004. Surveys of ic- tion, drama, and poetry are complemented by chapters on Aboriginal writ- ing, autobiography, literary criticism, writing by women, and the emergence of urban writing. Areas of research that have expanded since the irst edition include environmental concerns and questions of sexuality which are freshly explored across several different chapters. A substantial chapter on franco- phone writing is included. Authors such as Margaret Atwood, noted for her experiments in multiple literary genres, are given full consideration, as is the work of authors who have achieved major recognition, such as Alice Munro, recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature. Eva-Marie Kröller edited the Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature (irst edn., 2004) and, with Coral Ann Howells, the Cambridge History of Canadian Literature (2009). She has published widely on travel writing and cultural semiotics, and won a Killam Research Prize as well as the Distin- guished Editor Award of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals for her work as editor of the journal Canadian

    The Giller Prize (1994–2004) and Scotiabank Giller Prize (2005–2014): A Bibliography Andrew David Irvine* For the price of a meal in this town you can buy all the books. Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan. Errata may be sent to the author at [email protected]. 1 Quoted in Deborah Dundas, “Giller Prize shortlist ‘so good,’ it expands to six,” 6 October 2014, accessed 17 September 2015, www.thestar.com/entertainment/ books/2014/10/06/giller_prize_2014_shortlist_announced.html. 2 “The Giller Prize Story: An Oral History: Part One,” 8 October 2013, accessed 11 November 2014, www.quillandquire.com/awards/2013/10/08/the-giller- prize-story-an-oral-history-part-one; cf.

    Urban Archaeology in Michael Redhill’s Toronto Novel Consolation Meeria Vesala University of Tampere Faculty of Communication Sciences Master’s Programme in English Language and Literature MA Thesis May 2018 Tampereen yliopisto Viestintätieteiden tiedekunta Englannin kielen ja kirjallisuuden maisterikoulutus VESALA, MEERIA: Urban Archaeology in Michael Redhill’s Toronto Novel Consolation Pro Gradu -tutkielma, 117 sivua + lähdeluettelo Toukokuu 2018 Tutkielmani käsittelee urbaanin arkeologian tematiikkaa ja arkeologian metaforista sekä käsitteellistä merkitystä kanadalaisessa kaupunkikirjallisuudessa. Tutkimusaineistoni keskiössä on Michael Redhillin Torontoon sijoittuva historiallinen kaupunkiromaani Consolation (2006), jota analysoin ensisijaisesti kirjassa esitetyn tarinan ilmentämän tilallisuuden kautta. Romaanin tapahtumat eivät ole ainoastaan sidoksissa tiettyyn aikaan (1857/1997) ja paikkaan (Toronto), kuten kirjallisuudentutkimuksessa on usein tapana ymmärtää, vaan lähtökohtaisesti itse ympäristö tuottaa tilallisia tapahtumaketjuja, jotka ohjaavat kaupunkilaisten tottumuksia, tuntemuksia ja toimintaa eri elämänalueilla. Romaanin urbaani tila, miljoonakaupunki Ontario-järven rannalla, on havainnollistava esimerkki ajan ja paikan jatkuvasta yhteentörmäyksestä ja muutoksesta, joka on nähtävissä niin todellisen kuin kuvitellun kaupungin kuvassa. Toronton muodonmuutos pienestä rajaseudun kylästä tunnetuksi maailman metropoliksi viimeisen puolentoista vuosisadan aikana viestittää paikan ainutlaatuisesta olemuksesta ja luonteesta, minkä

Still, from September onward, there’s plenty to talk about. Here are just a few of the books we think are going to make a splash. With fall comes a new crop of books (SHUTTERSTOCK) https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/2018/08/31/25-books-that-are-going-to-make-a-splash-this-fall.html 1/7 9/7/2018 25 books that are going to make a splash this fall | The Star Fiction Canadian Machine Without Horses, Helen Humphreys (HarperCollins, Sept. 5) Humphreys is one of this country’s most beautiful writers, and her books are often sparked by a single moment. This newest, for example, stems from an obituary, from which she creates a life story. In this book, she both explores both the real life and creates the imagined internal life of the famous salmon-ly dresser, Megan Boyd, who worked for 60 years in the north of Scotland.
