the impact of English translation, and the Canadian immigrant experience
critical themes such as landscape, ethnicity, orality, textuality, war and nationhood
contemporary debate on the canon, feminism, postcoloniality, queer theory, and cultural and ethnic diversity
the work of canonical and lesser-known writers from Catherine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie to Robert Service, Maria Campbell and Douglas Coupland.
