Canadian Literatures in English reflects the editors’ commitment to historical contextualization, cultural inclusion, and a nuanced understanding of critical debates over the long literary history of what is now Canada. The second volume covers the period from Modernism to the 2020s, and provides a diverse range of literary and artistic works: short fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, but also legal, government, and policy documents, contemporary art and journalism, and experimental work that crosses genres.

Volume 1 and Volume 2 are also available separately.
