  • Reception D Study
    Reception d Study Harry Loewen University of Winnipeg For all the skills they have shown for centuries in the practical arts, Mennonites have failed to develop among themselves an appreciation for the literary arts and even less for literary artists.' This is not to say that Mennonites did not read books. As Jacob H. Janzen wrote with affection- ate irony some forty years ago: "They [Mennonites] liked to have good books. They bought Menno Simons' writings and laid them away to become dust covered on the corner ~helf."~Not only did Mennonites in Russia know the writings of Menno Simons; they also read other works written by non-Mennonites, even works of fiction, especially those which appealed to their sense of religious piety and practical concerns. Works like Jung-Stilling's Das Heimweh were not only appreciated by nineteenth-century Russian Mennonites, but were occasionally taken in a literal sense which could result in strange historical consequence^.^ During the nineteenth century Russian Mennonites did produce a few poets who achieved respect and popularity among the practically- minded Mennonites. The most outstanding among these was Bernhard Harder (1832-84) of the Molotschnaya who as preacher, teacher and poet spoke and sang his evangelical concerns into the hearts and minds of his people. Harder deserves his rightful place among the emerging Men- nonite writers, but as a poet he saw himself more in a didactic and moralizing role than as an artist. The Mennonite literary artist was unknown among the nineteenth-century Russian Mennonites.* It has been suggested that Mennonite literature not only grew out of the Russian-Mennonite tradition, but that in its appeal to Mennonite readers it was in part successful because there was a community which accepted this literature, however rel~ctantly.~This is no doubt true with regard to the kind of literature which was largely didactic and pietistic in Journal of Mennonite Studies Vol.

  • Manitoba and Beyond
    292 Journal of Mennonite Studies Mennonite/s Writing: Manitoba and Beyond University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA Thursday to Sunday October 1-4, 2009 The fifth international conference on Mennonite/s Writing since 1990, features scholarly papers on the work of individual “Mennonite” writers, on Mennonite writers’ inscription of Winnipeg or Manitoba landscapes, and on other subjects related to Mennonite/s writing across North America. Writers who have grown up within the Mennonite communities of Manitoba have made a huge contribution to Canadian literature over the course of the last half century. Among those recently nominated for national literary awards are novelists David Bergen, Sandra Birdsell, Miriam Toews, Rudy Wiebe and poets Di Brandt and Patrick Friesen. These and other Mennonite writers well known in the worlds of Canadian literature and beyond (among them Sarah Klassen, David Waltner-Toews, Armin Wiebe, David Elias) have roots in various parts of Manitoba. Most of these writers were first published by Manitoba’s premier literary publisher, Turnstone Press. Several were founding members of the still thriving Manitoba Writers Guild. Many first received attention in Winnipeg’s stellar literary magazine, Prairie Fire. Their work is read around the world. The conference will begin Thursday evening, October 1, 2009 and conclude Sunday October 4, with a day-long literary bus tour featuring sites inscribed and/or inhabited by Manitoba’s writers of Mennonite heritage.
