Title
Unmasking The Literary Garland’s T.D. Foster
Abstract
The author examines the intersection of nineteenth-century literary history, women’s literature, and print culture. She opens by resolving what she describes as an admittedly minor debate about the identity of a contributor to the Montreal-based The Literary Garland (1838-1851), Canada's main early nineteenth-century literary journal. However, as a result of this resolution, the author examines a series of previously unnoted literary connections between Canadian authors and a single U.S. periodical that is revealed; networks of Canadian literary women — both as writers and editors — are explored and an understanding of them expanded; and lost writings by Canadian authors are identified. Those covered by the author include American-born Montrealer Harriet Vaughan Cheney (1796-1889), her sister, the American-born Montrealer Eliza Lanesford Cushing (1794-1886), Quebec City's Emma Donoghue Grant, and Catherine Parr Traill (1802-1899).
