Abstract Note
Essays on the depiction of regionalized Canada in United States fiction, poetry, and other literature from the 18th and 19th centuries. Specific references to French Canada, Quebec, Acadia, and France. Looks to the works of renowned writers like Walt Whitman, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Fenimore Cooper, and Henry David Thoreau. Introduces the 20th century with a brief discussion about Jack London. The back cover reads: "'North of America' is a study of the imaginative responses to Canada in the work of a wide selection of United States novelists, poets, travel writers, and other literary would-be literary artists....The results of their efforts form a fascinating and little known aspect of American literary history, and provide new perspectives on the attempts of imaginative writers to comprehend the meaning of the New World."
