Description: "ReCalling Early Canada is the first book-length collection of essays to focus on Canadian literary and cultural production prior to WWI. While Canadian literature is often thought to have emerged in the mid twentieth century, the essays in this volume reflect a recent critical interest in earlier generations of cultural production." "Taking seriously the project of recall, the essays here not only seek to deliver certain historical documents to the light of present-day critique, they also ask important theoretical and political questions about the various methodologies involved and the assumptions that accompany them."--BOOK JACKET
