Montreal dans ‘Linnet Muir’ (Home Truths) de Mavis Gallant
|
| Abstract |
Montreal plays a major role in Gallant’s short stories from Home Truths: Selected Canadian Stories (1981). The author of this article concentrates on two aspects of those stories: the city as a childhood kingdom, and the intellectual climate during the 1920s and 1940s. Gallant’s protagonist, Linnet Muir, recreates through her memories the intellectual climate that her parents and their friends lived in 1920s Montreal, including the mingling of English and French, Catholics and Protestants. By the 1940s, Linnet Muir sees Montreal as a shabby fortress, peopled with indifferent faces.
