Nationalism and Literature: The Politics of Culture in Canada and the United States: Cambridge Cultural Social Studies

Autor Sarah M. Corse
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 1996
Sarah Corse's analysis of nearly two hundred American and Canadian novels offers a theory of national literatures. Demonstrating that national canon formation occurs in tandem with nation-building, and that canonical novels play a symbolic role in this, this 1996 book accounts for cross-national literary differences, addresses issues of mediation and representation in theories of 'reflection', and illuminates the historically constructed nature of the relationship between literature and the nation-state.

Recenzii

"[Corse] offers an astute, Bourdieu-esque analysis of the markets for literary and popular books and the different mechanisms through which they acquire value." Erin A. Smith, American Literature
"...Corse has shifted the grounding of future work in productive and important ways." Lyn Spillman, Contemporary Sociology
"Sarah Corse's comparative study of Canadian and American literature...asks why two industrialized, predominantly English-speaking neighboring nations should espouse such radically different images of their own national characters." Graham Fraser, College Literature
