Title |
Two Solitudes and Bonheur d'occasion: Mirror Images of Quebec
|
Abstract |
Published in the same year (1945), Hugh MacLennan's Two Solitudes and Gabrielle Roy's Bonheur d'occasion (translated as The Tin Flute) contributed greatly to the emergence of the literary Canadian mythology of two founding peoples. While MacLennan's novel depicts the clash of generations in the English-Canadian culture, Roy's depicts the urbanization of Quebec and implicitly denounces British rule. According to the author, both novels are like mirror images of each other, describing Montreal of a past era that is dominated by English Quebec society.
