Abstract: "Dichotomous critical models--the ""garrison,"" nature/culture--are frequently employed in Canadian criticism. But the terrain of English-Canadian fiction may better be viewed as a ""cline"" or continuum of land values, ranging from city to wilderness, with a ""pseudo-wilderness"" at midpoint. The city may be a place, variously, of isolation or community; the wilderness, of self-knowledge or de-humanization; and the pseudo-wilderness (frequently a cottage country or rural area, and the dominant location in English-Canadian fiction) mediates between these sets of locations and values. It may also substitute for the ""true"" wilderness as a ground for intense natural experience. |
