Writing the Montreal Mountain: Below the Thresholds at which Visibility Begins
|
| Abstract |
The place of Mount Royal mountain in the texts of such as Montreal writers as Gwethalyn Graham’s Earth and
High Heaven (1944), Gabrielle Roy’s Bonheur d’occasion (1945), Hugh MacLennan’s Two Solitudes (1945), Roger Viau’s Au milieu, la montagne (1951),Yves Thériault’s Aaron (1954), MacLennan’s The Watch that Ends the Night (1958), Gérard Bessette’s La bagarre (1958), Leonard Cohen’s The Favourite Game (1963) and Gail Scott’s Heroine (1987). The author argues that in spite of their substantial differences, these works all stage — on the mountain — encounters between and within Montreal communities, and inquire into the relation of characters to urban social space.
