Ralph Connor, Hugh MacLennan and Alice Munro: Three Scottish-Canadian Authors
|
| Abstract |
Although born in Nova Scotia, novelist and teacher Hugh MacLennan (1907-1990) is foremost associated with Montreal, where he immigrated in 1935. His 1945 novel, Two Solitudes, examines the linguistic divide that existed in Quebec at the time. His 1958 novel, The Watch that Ends the Night, describes life in Montreal in the 1930s; his 1967 novel, Return of the Sphinx, describes relations between the English and the French that had deteriorated into hatred and violence; and his futuristic 1980 novel, Voices in Time, is set in Montreal fifty years after a nuclear explosion. MacLennan began his teaching career at Montreal's Lower Canada College in 1935, and began teaching English literature part-time at McGill University in 1954, becoming a full professor in 1968. He retired from McGill as a professor emeritus in 1979. The author links MacLennan's Scottish roots with his views on English Canadian and Québécois identity.
