This book examines the cultural work of space and memory in Canada and Canadian literature, and encourages readers to investigate Canada within its regional, national, and global contexts. It features seven chapters in English and five in French, with a bilingual introduction. The contributors invite us to recognize local intersections that are so easily overlooked, yet are so important. They reveal the unities and fractures in national understanding, telling stories of otherness and marginality and of dislocation and un-belonging.

Recenzii

"Inhabiting Memory in Canadian Literature is an engaging exploration of space, place, and memory in a collection of twelve essays, written in both English and French, that meditate on literary expressions of loss, identity, and agency in a wide range of Canadian texts. The strengths of this edited collection of essays include its bilingualism, its theoretical, thematic, and temporal breadth, and its regional, national, and global scope. Taken together, the essays gathered here move across genres, canons, and literary periods in ways that illuminate the deep historical roots and contested intellectual meaning of the idea of space in Canadian literature and cultural criticism. Inhabiting Memory in Canadian Literature pairs historical depth with contemporary relevance, investigating space and memory as intersecting, dynamic, and fundamentally fluid categories of knowledge and compelling sites for historical and cultural analysis. It will be essential reading for many years to come." Gabrielle Roy Prize Jury comments, May 03, 2018
"This excellent scholarly collection includes seven essays in English and five in French on various facets of the relationship between space and memory.... The book will be of interest not only to scholars of Canadian literature, but also to those of postcolonial and diasporic literatures.... [This] book serves as a valuable challenge to scholars in both languages to deepen our understanding of Canada's literary past in both ways." -- Laurel Ryan, Canadian Literature
