Volume 1 of Canadian Literatures in English, second edition, which covers Canadian literature published up to the early 20th century, is also available.
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.
The second edition has been updated throughout to include recent scholarship and fresh literary works. New to the second edition are works by André Alexis, Leeanne Betasamosake Simpson, Derek Beaulieu, Billy-Ray Belcourt, and many others.
