The phrase “the new land” underwent careful scrutiny and reassessment during the course of the conference, and the insights that resulted from the readings and discussions were of considerable value to participants and observers alike. Chronologically and thematically the essays cover a wide range: from La Nouvelle France as seen by the early missionaries and by the French Romantic writer Chateaubriand to variations on the new land theme in present-day Qußbec; from the Prairies as seen by an early homesteader-novelist from France, Constantin-Weyer, to the Manitoba of Gabrielle Roy, which in turn is contrasted to the Nebraska of Willa Cather; from a historical recreation of the Saskatchewan landscape and history by a gifted contemporary novelist Rudy Wiebe, to a paradisal celebration of British Columbia reflected in the later works of Malcolm Lowry. What emerged from all of this, among other things, was the articulation of a mythology about the new land that was far more complex and expansive than the one derived originally through an old–world perspective.Canadian literatureHistory and criticismCongressesFrench-Canadian literatureHistory and criticismCongressesNorth AmericaIn literatureCongressesCanadian literatureHistory and criticismFrench-Canadian literatureHistory and criticism809/.933/2Chadbourne Richard McClain1922-1757820Dahlie Hallvard1154478Calgary Institute for the Humanities.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154759103321The new land4195785UNINA
