Title
One In Heart : The Marriage Metaphor in Nineteenth-Century English-Canadian Fiction
Abstract
The author notes that the marriage of English and French in nineteenth-century English-Canadian fiction is a trope reflecting Anglophone nationalism and the Anglophone desire for identity in a united nation. The marriage metaphor can be understood within the conservative, idealistic context of nineteenth-century Anglo-Canadian intellectual history. The author examines marriage imagery in a number of novels -- most of them historical romances -- published between 1824 and 1899.
