Marie Vautier

4.9/5 (13207 ratings)

Description:In this comparative study of six Canadian novels Marie Vautier examines reworkings of myth in the postcolonial context. While myths are frequently used in literature as transhistorical master narratives, she argues that these novels destabilize the traditional function of myth in their self-conscious reexamination of historical events from a postcolonial perspective. Through detailed readings of Francois Barcelo's La Tribu, George Bowering's Burning Water, Jacques Godbout's Les Tetes a Papineau, Joy Kogawa's Obasan, Jovette Marchessault's Comme une enfant de la terre, and Rudy Wiebe's The Scorched-Wood People, Vautier situates New World myth within the broader contexts of political history and of classical, biblical, and historical myths.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
