'A New Canadian National Spirit': Allegorical Miss Canada and the Occult Canadian State
|
| Abstract |
An examination of a post-First World War cartoon titled "Evolution," by A.G. Racey, from the Montreal Star in 1918, a version of "Miss Canada" that differed from earlier versions and depicted Canada as a mature nation within the British Empire. Since pre-Confederation, Miss Canada appeared frequently in editorial cartoons as an uncomplicated image meant to allegorize the country, depicting Miss Canada as the daughter of Britannia. Newspapers and magazines where she was typically found include Canadian Illustrated News, Montreal Star, Montreal Herald, Grip, Saturday Night, Le Canard, and the Quebec Chronicle. However, the author argues that the 1918 version chronicles a newly forged national spirit following Canada's role in the First World War.
