The contributors focus their attention on the writing of Canada's cities - including Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax - and call attention to the centrality of the city in Canadian literature. They examine how characters are affected by the urban experience in works by authors as diverse as the country itself: Hugh MacLennan, Jovette Marchessault, Michael Ondaatje, Austin Clarke, and Gerald Lynch, to name just a few. Editors Justin D. Edwards and Douglas Ivison have brought together an esteemed group of international Canadian literary scholars. 606 $aCanadian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCity and town life in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zCanada 607 $aKanada$2swd 607 $aKanada$2gnd 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 2 $aCanadian cities 615 0$aCanadian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCity and town life in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society 676 $a813.5409321732 702 $aEdwards$b Justin D.$f1970- 702 $aIvison$b Douglas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780524103321 996 $aDowntown Canada$93764072 997 $aUNINA
