Book Description
This unique study explores how Quebec's landscapes have been represented in both literature and visual art throughout the centuries, from the writing of early explorers such as Cartier and Champlain to work by prominent contemporary authors and artists from the province. William J. Berg traces recurrent images and themes within these creations through the most significant periods in the development of a Quebecois identity that was threatened initially by the wilderness and indigenous populations, and later by the dominance of British and American influences. Focusing on the interplay between nature and culture in landscape representation, Literature and Painting in Quebec contends that both have reflected and fashioned the meaning of French-Canadian nationhood. As such, Literature and Painting in Quebec presents a new perspective to approach the notion of national identity, a quest that few groups have engaged in more persistently than the Quebecois.

Book Description
Celebrated as a novelist and made famous by her novel Anne of Green Gables and its sequels, L.M. Montgomery (1874-1942) is far less known for also writing and publishing hundreds of poems over a period of half a century.Although this output included a chapbook and a full-length collection in which she presented herself primarily as a nature poet, most of her poems appeared in periodicals, including women's magazines, farm papers, faith-based periodicals, daily and weekly newspapers, and magazines for children. As a shrewd businesswoman, she learned to find the balance between literary quality and commercial saleability and continued to publish poetry even though it paid less than short fiction. A World of Songs: Selected Poems, 1894-1921, the second volume in The L.M. Montgomery Library, gathers a selection of fifty poems originally published across a twenty-five-year period. Benjamin Lefebvre organizes this work within the context of Montgomery's life and career, claiming her not only as a nature poet but also as the author of a wider range of "songs": of place, of memory, of lamentation, of war, of land and sea, of death, and of love. Many of these poems echo motifs that readers of Montgomery's novels will recognize, and many more explore surprising perspectives through the use of male speakers. These poems offer today's readers a new facet of the career of Canada's most enduringly popular author.

Book Description
This important work considers the contemporary movement of "writing in the feminine", by examining the work of five women writers from French and English Canada and the dialogue therein with feminist and psychoanalytic theory and theories of ethics. Informing the author's interpretations are the ideas of French theorists Emmanuel Levinas, Paul Ricoeur, Luce Irigaray, and Julia Kristeva, as well as American feminists Kelly Oliver and Jessica Benjamin. Marie Carrière explores the unfolding, complex questions of sexual difference, female subjectivity, and mother-daughter relations. She also uncovers and examines the occasional breakdown of the feminist ethics postulated by Nicole Brossard, France Theoret, Di Brandt, Erin Mouré, and Lola Lemire Tostevin. Carrière views these instances of deviation not as a failure of writing in the feminine, but as an inevitability in the relatively new intellectual terrain of feminist ethics. Writing in the Feminine will be of great interest to scholars of literary theory, women's studies, and Canadian literature in French and English. As a challenging study of the connections between gender and authorship, it will also appeal to those who have a particular interest in women's literature.

Book Description
Canadian Women in Print, 1750—1918 is the first historical examination of women’s engagement with multiple aspects of print over some two hundred years, from the settlers who wrote diaries and letters to the New Women who argued for ballots and equal rights. Considering women’s published writing as an intervention in the public sphere of national and material print culture, this book uses approaches from book history to address the working and living conditions of women who wrote in many genres and for many reasons. This study situates English Canadian authors within an extensive framework that includes francophone writers as well as women’s work as compositors, bookbinders, and interveners in public access to print. Literary authorship is shown to be one point on a spectrum that ranges from missionary writing, temperance advocacy, and educational texts to journalism and travel accounts by New Woman adventurers. Familiar figures such as Susanna Moodie, L.M. Montgomery, Nellie McClung, Pauline Johnson, and Sara Jeannette Duncan are contextualized by writers whose names are less well known (such as Madge Macbeth and Agnes Laut) and by many others whose writings and biographies have vanished into the recesses of history. Readers will learn of the surprising range of writing and publishing performed by early Canadian women under various ideological, biographical, and cultural motivations and circumstances. Some expressed reluctance while others eagerly sought literary careers. Together they did much more to shape Canada’s cultural history than has heretofore been recognized.

CE TRAVAIL S'INSCRIT DANS LE CADRE D'UNE CRITIQUE FEMINISTE. IL S'AGIT DE SITUER LA PLACE DES FEMMES DANS L'INSTITUTION LITTERAIRE, MAIS AUSSI D'ANALYSER "L'ELABORATION DE LA DIFFERENCE SEXUELLE DANS LA LITTERATURE". LE CORPUS EST CONSTITUE EXCLUSIVEMENT DE TEXTES DE FEMMES ECRITS DANS LES ANNEES 1960-1980. CEPENDANT, LA PERSPECTIVE RESTE OUVERTE A DES ETUDES GENERALES QUI PERMETTRAIENT DE MESURER LA PLACE DES ECRIVAINES SANS REDUIRE LA DIVERSITE DE LEURS PRATIQUES A UNE DEFINITION DE "L'ECRITURE FEMININE". EN CE DOMAINE, LA SPECIFICITE RENVOIE A UNE EPOQUE, A UN PAYS ET A UNE CULTURE DONNES. POUR L'ITALIE DE CETTE PERIODE, QUATRE AXES ONT ETE RETENUS. LA CORRELATION ENTRE UN MOUVEMENT DE LIBERATION DES FEMMES ET UN COURANT LITTERAIRE APPARAIT DANS "ANNEES 70, ITINERAIRES D'UNE PRISE DE CONSCIENCE". "AUTOBIOGRAPHIES" PRESENTE DES OEUVRES DE ROMANCIERES ET D'AUTRES RECITS LIES AUX EXPERIENCES DES GROUPES D'AUTO-CONSCIENCE. DES FICTIONS ATYPIQUES EVOQUANT UN SUJET FEMININ EN TRANSITION ONT ETE REGROUPEES SOUS LE TITRE "DES LIVRES POUR DES SUJETS A VENIR". ENFIN, LE RETOUR DE LA THEMATIQUE DES ANNEES 70, DONT SE DEMARQUENT LES ECRIVAINES D'AUJOURD'HUI FAIT L'OBJET D'UN BILAN INTITULE "DES HERITIERES DES ANNEES 70 AUX NOUVELLISTES DES ANNEES 80".

Book Description
For many years young writers experimenting with forms and aesthetics in the early decades of this century, small journals known collectively as "little" magazines were the key to recognition. Joyce, Stein, Eliot, Pound, Hemingway, and scores of other iconoclastic writers now considered central to modernism received little encouragement from the established publishers. It was the avant-garde magazines, many of them headed by women, that fostered new talent and found a readership for it. Jayne Marek examines the work of seven women editors—Harriet Monroe, Alice Corbin Henderson, Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, H.D., Bryher (Winifred Ellerman), and Marianne Moore—whose varied activities, often behind the scenes and in collaboration with other women, contributed substantially to the development of modernist literature. Through such publications as Poetry, The Little Review, The Dial, and Close Up, these women had a profound influence that has been largely overlooked by literary historians. Marek devotes a chapter as well to the interactions of these editors with Ezra Pound, who depended upon but also derided their literary tastes and accomplishments. Pound's opinions have had lasting influence in shaping critical responses to women editors of the early twentieth century. In the current reevaluation of modernism, this important book, long overdue, offers an indispensable introduction to the formative influence of women editors, both individually and in their collaborative efforts.

Book Description
Dans un élan collectif, les écrivaines des années 1970 et 1980, en Europe et en Amérique, s'approprient le thème de la folie jusque-là exploité par les écrivains masculins. Pourquoi? Nous appuyant sur la pensée de Michel Foucault et de Roland Jaccard selon laquelle la folie est une construction sociale, nous suggérons que les romancières, influencées par le mouvement anti-psychiatrique, la crise du sujet humaniste, les théoriciennes féministes françaises et américaines ont l'audace d'inventer un sujet féminin qui devient fou en réponse à des situations sociales ou historiques oppressantes pour les femmes. Pour ce faire, les romancières mettent de l'avant des stratégies d'écriture qui participent à une prise de conscience féministe. Le chapitre I porte sur la place du sujet féminin et de sa folie dans l'histoire littéraire. Les chapitres II, III et IV sont consacrés à l'étude de stratégies romanesques, telles que la déconstruction de l'histoire ou de figures mythiques, la critique de l'institution familiale et la démystification du personnage de la mère dans la relation mère-fille. Ainsi, nous étudions la représentation de la folie combinée à ces stratégies dans cinq romans mettant en scène des héroïnes issues de cultures et de sociétés différentes. Ce sont Songs My Mother Taught Me d'Audrey Thomas (Canada anglais), Les Enfants du sabbat d'Anne Hébert et Les Jardins de cristal de Nadia Ghalem (Québec), The Woman Warrior : Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts de Maxine Hong Kingston et The Bluest Eye de Toni Morrison (États-Unis). La méthode utilisée est celle de l'analyse des discours, laquelle fait appel à plusieurs champs du savoir, celui de l'histoire littéraire, de la philosophie, de la littérature, de la psychanalyse, de la psychiatrie, de certaines études de pratiques culturelles (cultural studies) et du féminisme. Le thème de la folie aura permis aux écrivaines étudiées d'exprimer la réalité des femmes largement ignorée dans les romans et de dénoncer des conditions de vie encouragées par des systèmes répressifs. Le thème de la folie aura également rendu possible un nouvel imaginaire et une écriture qui, repoussant les limites imposées par la logique, est libre et puissante.

Book Description
All the Feels / Tous les sens presents research into emotion and cognition in Canadian, Indigenous, and Québécois writings in English or French. Affect is both internal and external, private and public; with its fluid boundaries, it represents a productive dimension for literary analysis. The emerging field of affect studies makes vital claims about ethical impulses, social justice, and critical resistance, and thus much is at stake when we adopt affective reading practices. The contributors ask what we can learn from reading contemporary literatures through this lens. Unique and timely, readable and teachable, this collection is a welcome resource for scholars of literature, feminism, philosophy, and transnational studies as well as anyone who yearns to imagine the world differently. Contributors: Nicole Brossard, Marie Carrière, Matthew Cormier, Kit Dobson, Nicoletta Dolce, Louise Dupré, Margery Fee, Ana María Fraile-Marcos, Smaro Kamboureli, Aaron Kreuter, Daniel Laforest, Carmen Mata Barreiro, Ursula Mathis-Moser, Heather Milne, Eric Schmaltz, Maïté Snauwaert, Jeanette den Toonder
