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. 606 $aAnthologies$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAnthologies$xEditing 606 $aCanon (Literature) 606 $aNational characteristics, Canadian, in literature 607 $aCanada$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnthologies$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAnthologies$xEditing. 615 0$aCanon (Literature) 615 0$aNational characteristics, Canadian, in literature. 676 $aC810.9 700 $aLecker$b Robert$f1951-$0464968 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452868803321 996 $aKeepers of the code$92116424 997 $aUNINA
