Robert Kroetsch: Reappraisals: Canadian Writers

Autor David Staines
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2020
Robert Kroetsch: Essayist, Novelist, Poet brings together an international cast of critics, scholars, and writers to examine, re-examine, and honour the celebrated author's immense significance in the twenty-first century, and what it means to be Canadian and part of the country's literary landscape. Original essays by Dennis Cooley, Phil Hall, Nicole Markotic, Aritha van Herk, and Rudy Wiebe, among others.
The author of nine novels, thirteen books of poetry, and seven non-fiction volumes, Robert Kroetsch (1927-2011) was a major figure in the development and history of literature in Canada. He won the Governor General's Award for Fiction for The Studhorse Man (1969) and was shortlisted for the Governor General's Award for Poetry for The Hornbooks of Rita K. (2001). He received honorary degrees from the University of Winnipeg (1983) and the University of Alberta (1997), and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada (2004).
Robert Kroetsch stands as a seminal figure in the Canadian literary landscape. In his early fiction he introduced postmodern techniques into the mainstream of Canadian fiction. He then moved on to writing poetry while still writing fiction, and created a new vision for poets across the country, defining the nature of the poetic experience by searching out the roots of his place in the Canadian landscape.
Robert Kroetsch: Essayist, Novelist, Poet is a timely reminder of the immense significance that Kroetsch holds in the twenty-first-century understanding of what it means to be Canadian and part of the country's literary landscape.
This book is published in English.

Robert Kroetsch est une figure marquante du paysage litt raire canadien. Dans ses premiers ouvrages de fiction, il a introduit des techniques de narration postmodernes dans le courant dominant et jusqu'alors plut t conventionnel de la fiction canadienne. Il a ensuite entrepris d' crire de la po sie tout en poursuivant son oeuvre romanesque. Ce faisant, il a su cr er une nouvelle vision pour les po tes canadiens; il a, entre autres, d fini la nature de l'exp rience po tique en se questionnant sur le sens de l'identit canadienne et sur la place qu'il occupait dans le paysage litt raire canadien.
L'ouvrage intitul Robert Kroetsch: romancier, po te et essayiste constitue un rappel opportun de l'importance consid rable de cet auteur majeur, qui nous a permis de mieux comprendre ce que cela signifiait d' tre Canadien au XXIe si cle et d'appartenir au paysage litt raire canadien.
