Canadian Shorts: A Collection of Short Stories Foreword by Brenda Fisk. Authored by Donna Quick, Maureen O'Hare, Michele Lisiecki, Michael Lalonde, Maureen Haseloh, Allison Gorner, Joan M. Baril, Sara Mang, Wayne Douglas Weedon, Vicki Lockwood, R.O., Marion Agnew Celebrating Canada's 150th birthday, Canadian Shorts is a writing contest that publishes top entries in a collection of Canadian-themed short stories. Our goals are to spotlight great writing and to donate proceeds from the contest and book sales to a Canadian charity. This year's recipient is The Canadian Council for Refugees.
Beginning in the 1890s, reaching its first full realization by modernist writers in the 1920s, and brought to its heyday during the Canadian Renaissance starting in the 1960s, the short story has become Canada's flagship genre. It continues to attract the country's most accomplished and innovative writers today, among them Margaret Atwood, Mavis Gallant, Alice Munro, Carol Shields, and many others. Yet in contrast to the stature and popularity of the genre and the writers who partake in it, surprisingly little literary criticism and theory has been devoted to the Canadian short story. This collection redresses that imbalance by providing the first collection of critical interpretations of a range of thirty well-known and often-anthologized Canadian short stories from the genre's beginnings through the twentieth century. A historical survey of the genre introduces the volume and a timeline comparing the genre's development in Canada, the US, and Great Britain via representative examples completes it. The collection is geared both to specialists in and to students of Canadian literature. For the latter it is of particular benefit that the volume provides not only a collection of interpretations, but a comprehensive introduction to the history of the Canadian short story. Reingard M. Nischik is professor and chair of American Literature at the University of Constance, Germany.
Includes 30 one-page "shorts" about key events in world history, reproducible activity sheets, map, graph, and chart activities, extension activities, and assessments.
