  • The Evolutionary Sublime

    Cynthia SugarsARTICLEMosaic2018

    Joan Thomas's novel Curiosity focusses on the period when fossil discoveries were overturning conceptions about humanity's place in history. It considers how early evolutionary theory positioned subjects vis-à-vis questions of historicity and scale.

Many of these texts wrestle with Canada’s colonial past …

  • Home-Work

    Canadian literature, and specifically the teaching of Canadian literature, has emerged from a colonial duty to a nationalist enterprise and into the current territory of postcolonialism.
