A committed regionalist whose representational art reflected his daily experiences, Curnoe’s art was celebrated as evidence of the nation’s cultural maturation in the heady years surrounding Canada’s centennial. However, fame can be notoriously fickle: by the early 1980s, Curnoe’s career was in decline. This article examines Curnoe’s rise and fall at a culturally and politically charged point in Canada’s history.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3828/BJCS.2016.3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70388542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet even as they did so they refused to abandon the language of loyalty. Canadian conservatives instead chose to follow the political philosophy of John Locke, endorsing his ‘right of revolution’. In so doing, they demonstrated an ideology eerily similar to that of the American Patriots three quarters of a century earlier. They held a conditional conception of loyalty as a social contract between monarch and subject. The British Crown was seen to have broken this contract through its sanctioning of the Rebellion Losses Bill and its implicit support of ‘French Domination’. The connection between mother country and colony was now conceived as open to negotiation.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3828/BJCS.2016.4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70388601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, quite different narratives, anchored in specific urban and social experiences, have informed traditions of this thinking, from the Chicago School to the Los Angeles School. In Montreal’s case, the narrative is a story of immigrant neighbourhoods, and illustrates both takes on the metropolis; namely that it can be cosmopolitan or fragmented in nature. This article will trace the various chapters of Montreal’s history to demonstrate that, whilst its narrative has, for the most part, identified it as a cosmopolitan city, recent developments seem to have triggered a twist in the tale towards a vision of a fragmented city; at least in sociopolitical discourses.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3828/BJCS.2016.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70388311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Montgomery’s often overlooked Anne sequel Anne of Avonlea (1909), this article interrogates the representation of Anne-as-teacher, particularly focusing on the ways in which Montgomery extends this role beyond the confines of the schoolhouse. It explores the ways Anne’s ‘teaching’ is presented to the reader as both a mode of employment and a route for her own personal development that both draws upon and extends her seemingly innate maternalism. It also examines the extent to which Montgomery’s intended narrative destiny for Anne was shaped by both societal expectations of the period regarding young women, and by the conventions of the domestic romance genre itself. This article intends to encourage new evaluations and reassessment of the Anne sequels by drawing attention to the conflicting relationships between writing, paid work, and gender in this period, which both Montgomery and her protagonist were forced to overcome.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3828/BJCS.2016.2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70388477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All three novels revisit, re-interpret and subvert the myth of the Wild West by: focusing on historicity in the form of historiographic metafiction or historical fiction; differentiating between the Canadian and American Wild Wests; laying bare the mythologisation processes of the Wild West as a nation-making myth; and foregrounding characters ex-centric for the Western, such as women, First Nations, Canadians, and atypical cowboys. In this way, the novels contribute to the Canadian new Western genre.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3828/BJCS.2015.13","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70387528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Montgomery’s voluminous presence in the North American periodical marketplace throughout her literary career, critical studies of Montgomery largely remain focused on her novels and journals. This article examines Montgomery’s short fiction and feature submissions to the Canadian mass-market magazines Chatelaine and the Canadian Home Journal. It analyses the editorial commentary, page layout, and illustrations which appeared alongside the text of the stories themselves, in order to examine the way in which Montgomery’s work was framed and presented on the pages of periodicals. Through a close analysis of a few of Montgomery’s non-fiction contributions to Chatelaine, it also explores the ways in which she shaped and controlled her public status as a ‘celebrity’ author late in her career. This article thus aims to build towards a wider understanding of Montgomery’s literary outputs and her successful navigation of the Canadian literary marketplace.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3828/BJCS.2015.10","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70387723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first decades of the twentieth century both authors wrote a variety of sketches and stories for Canadian magazines and newspapers, and went on to produce well-received, popular, Toronto-set novels. The intervening years have seen both writers and their novels all but forgotten. This article revisits Moorhouse’s Every Man for Himself (1920) and Donovan’s Late Spring (1930) in light of an increasing interest in the depiction of cities in Canadian literature. Both novels can be seen as self-aware modern urban Canadian fictions, addressing the complexity of the cityscape alongside the overarching challenges of modernity to literary representation.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3828/BJCS.2015.11","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70387832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These scholars, drawn from the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe, represent the next generation of academics engaged in research, analysis and writing in the field of Canadian Studies.As with many projects, this issue began as a conversation between friends and colleagues - Christopher Kirkey, Director of the Center for the Study of Canada at State University of New York College at Plattsburgh, and Tony McCulloch, Senior Fellow in North American Studies at the UCL Institute of the Americas. Reflecting on the need to encourage younger scholars working on Canada, and building on a model already successfully employed by SUN Y Plattsburgh's CONNECT programme, the decision was taken in May 2013 to organise, promote and convene a colloquium at University College London in the summer of 2014. A call for papers was issued, aimed primarily at doctoral students and early-career professionals, and resulted in some thirty proposals. Twenty-one participants, from all over Europe and representing a variety of academic disciplines, subsequently presented their research at the 'Issues in Canadian Studies: New Voices on Canada' colloquium held at the UCL Institute of the Americas in Bloomsbur y, central London, between 10 and 12 July 2014.The colloquium featured, most prominently, a compelling focus on papers dedicated to Canadian literature. As editors - following formal presentations, extended discussions, and multiple academic peer reviews by several senior scholars - we chose to commit this issue of the BJCS to six essays grounded in the study of Canadian literature, broadly defined. We are also pleased to note that the authors of several other papers given at the colloquium have been encouraged to submit their work to the BJCS for consideration in future issues.In this special issue Sarah Galletly, from the UK but currently based in Australia, focuses on the highly popular Canadian author, Lucy Maud Montgomer y, and her often overlooked short fictional feature submissions to two prominent Canadian periodicals, Chatelaine and the Canadian Home Journal. Will Smith, also from the UK, examines two 'little-known popular novels', Hopkins Moorhouse's Every Man for Himself and Peter Donovan's Late Spring, and shows that these Toronto-based writers of the early twentieth century reflect and radiate the emergence of urban realist fiction in and about Canada. …","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3828/BJCS.2015.9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70388243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
