Lecker shows that these anthologies are deeply conflicted narratives that embody the tensions and anxieties felt by their editors when faced with the challenge of constructing or rejecting national ideals. He argues that these are intensely self-conscious works with their own literary mechanisms and architecture. In reading the history of these anthologies, he witnesses a complex narrative of nation, a compelling story about the values and interests informing English-Canadian literary history.AnthologiesHistory and criticismAnthologiesEditingCanon (Literature)National characteristics, Canadian, in literatureCanadaIn literatureElectronic books.AnthologiesHistory and criticism.AnthologiesEditing.Canon (Literature)National characteristics, Canadian, in literature.C810.9Lecker Robert1951-464968MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452868803321Keepers of the code2116424UNINA
