Description: The development of literature in Canada with an eye to its multicultural, multiethnic, multilingual nature.
Brief description: Reingard M. Nischik is Professor and chair of American literature at the University of Constance, Germany.
Review Quotes: This is a long overdue joint history of the literatures in Canada that will be extremely helpful to both students and scholars in the field....The book admirably combines ... the advantages of a compendium and a chronologically arranged literary history. In particular, the inclusion of both anglophone and francophone literatures is an asset that can hardly be stressed enough in its importance.-- "ZEITSCHRIFT FUER KANADA-STUDIEN"
