Readings in National Canadian Literature
11:00 a.m., Friday, Oct. 2, 2009
Room 413 in Spiva Library
Admission: free

The term “national” is used here to identify literature that could be encompassed by the general label of “Canadian” as opposed to the distinct areas of native or francophone literature. This body of literature is shaped in part by the English colonial experience and contemporary ties with Britain, along with Canada’s relationships with its very large and powerful North American neighbor to the south. Readings by faculty members from the MSSU English department will touch on a variety of intriguing texts that touch on compelling aspects of the nation and its people.
