The Literary History of Alberta Volume One: From Writing-on-Stone to World War T

Description: The Literary History of Alberta Volume One by George Melnyk Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This long-awaited, landmark volume chronicles Alberta writing: the writers, their works, and their vigorous and changing landscape. A must for anyone interested in the cultural history of western Canada. Publisher Description Albertas contradictory landscape has fired the imaginative energies of writers for centuries. The sweep of the plains, the thrust of the Rockies, and the long roll of the woodlands have left vivid impressions on all of Albertas writers -- both those who passed through Alberta in search of other horizons and those who made it their home. The Literary History of Alberta surveys writing in and about Alberta from prehistory to the middle of the twentieth century. It includes profiles of dozens of writers (from the earnestly intended to the truly gifted) and their texts (from the commercial to the arcane). It reminds us of long-forgotten names and faces, figures who quietly -- or not so quietly -- wrote the books that underpin Albertas thriving literary culture today. Melnyk also discusses the institutions that have shaped Albertas literary culture. The Literary History of Alberta is an essential text for any reader interested in the cultural history of western Canada, and a landmark achievement in Albertas continuing literary history. Author Biography George Melnyk is a cultural historian who teaches Canadian Studies at the University of Calgary. Tamara Palmer Seiler is an interdisciplinary scholar who teaches Canadian studies at the University of Calgary. She has written widely on the impact of immigration and ethnic diversity on Canadian culture, and in particular on Canadian literature, and is the co-author of two books on the history of Alberta.
