From the 'White Lily' to the 'King Frog in a Puddle': A Comparison of Confederation and Multiculturalism in Irish-Canadian Literature
|
| Abstract |
A focus on Canadian literature written during the 1850s and 1860s and in the 1970s by Irish Catholic immigrants and their descendants. The author analyzes ideas about nation building, ethnic identity, racial supremacy and cultural diversity. For the Confederation period, the author examines the poetry of Thomas D'Arcy McGee (1825-1868) and Rosanna Leprohon (1829-1879). McGee was an Irish-born Montreal poet, politician and Father of Confederation. Montreal poet and novelist Leprohon (née Mullins) was praised during her life for having done "more almost than any other Canadian writer to foster and promote the growth of a national Literature."
