The Canadian Short Story by Reingard M. Nischik Pdf
Beginning in the 1890s, reaching its first full realization by modernist writers in the 1920s, and brought to its heyday during the Canadian Renaissance starting in the 1960s, the short story has become Canada's flagship genre. It continues to attract the country's most accomplished and innovative writers today, among them Margaret Atwood, Mavis Gallant, Alice Munro, Carol Shields, and many others. Yet in contrast to the stature and popularity of the genre and the writers who partake in it, surprisingly little literary criticism and theory has been devoted to the Canadian short story. This collection redresses that imbalance by providing the first collection of critical interpretations of a range of thirty well-known and often-anthologized Canadian short stories from the genre's beginnings through the twentieth century. A historical survey of the genre introduces the volume and a timeline comparing the genre's development in Canada, the US, and Great Britain via representative examples completes it. The collection is geared both to specialists in and to students of Canadian literature. For the latter it is of particular benefit that the volume provides not only a collection of interpretations, but a comprehensive introduction to the history of the Canadian short story. Reingard M. Nischik is professor and chair of American Literature at the University of Constance, Germany.

Best Canadian Short Stories by John Stevens Pdf
Despite predictions of its early demise, the short story continues to flourish, fed by energy, nourished by talent. It's particularly alive and well in Canada where, since Confederation, we've been writing them, publishing them and reading them. This collection is brimming over with the excitement, variety and quality of that rich tradition. The stories vary in theme and style from the traditional to the highly imaginative. They explore the struggles of newcomers to adapt to the rigours of Canadian life, the problems and joys of family life and, that most fascinating and complex subject of all, the relationships between men and women. At a time when it is fashionable to question whether such a thing as a Canadian identity exists at all, this collection contains ample evidence of our own varied style and unique experience. it is an essential book, important for anyone with any claim to an interest in and knowledge of our literature.

Best Canadian Stories 2020 by Paige Cooper Pdf
“The right story, at the right time, if you happen to be open to it ... can perhaps move you so far outside of yourself that you will not consider going back.” “Like meeting a stranger, much of the pleasure of a story is its unknown power,” writes Best Canadian Stories 2020 guest editor Paige Cooper. “The right story, at the right time, if you happen to be open to it ... can perhaps move you so far outside of yourself that you will not consider going back.” From Festival du Voyageur to the shores of Lake Erie, Tbilisi to Toronto, the Amisk River to a hotel-turned-hospital in the midst of a mysterious pandemic, this wide-ranging anthology brings together the real and the speculative, small towns and big cities, grief and humour, introducing readers to stories that startle us into new understanding—of ourselves and each other, the worlds we inhabit and the ones they help us to imagine.

Old Man Savarin Stories by Edward William Thomson Pdf
This is a collection of 17 short stories and a preceding poem. Of the 16 stories, nine of them are about Canada or Canadians, and five of the other seven, set in the U.S., South Africa, and England, are narrated by Canadian natives. In an extensive review of the book, Glenys Stow says that action is the central theme of Thomson's stories: "a heroic father is swept over Niagara Falls; a lumberman's son works feverishly to salvage a broken crib of logs in order to support his starving family; ten soldiers in the Army of the Potomac gallop through the night carrying despatches at the risk of their lives," Canadian Literature, No. 66, Autumn, 1975, p. 122. In sum, the book provides a view of early Canadian life from a number of different perspectives.
