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. 606 $aCanadian literature$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aFrench-Canadian literature$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 607 $aNorth America$xIn literature$vCongresses 615 0$aCanadian literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aFrench-Canadian literature$xHistory and criticism 676 $a809/.933/2 701 $aChadbourne$b Richard McClain$f1922-$01757820 701 $aDahlie$b Hallvard$01154478 712 02$aCalgary Institute for the Humanities. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154759103321 996 $aThe new land$94195785 997 $aUNINA
