Excerpt from Picturesque Canada: The Country as It Was and Is Though the Preface comes first, it is usually written last; and to this custom, for special reasons, picturesque canada is no, exception. Now, that the last page of of the work has been written, the time has come to explain and give thanks. I was reluctant to undertake the editorship, but consented because, being. In sympathy with Canadian aspirations and knowing Canada from ocean to ocean, 'i believed that a work that would represent its characteristic scenery and the history and life of its people would not only make us better known to ourselves and to strangers, but would also stimulate national sentiment and contribute to the rightful development of the nation. The favour with which the work has been received is due not merely to its artistic merit, but to the growing patriotic Spirit of the people, and their desire, therefore, to see faithfully reproduced some of the scenes of the land they love.

The Picturesque and the Sublime
Author: Susan Glickman
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773521353
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Winner of the Gabrielle Roy Prize in English and the Raymond Klibansky Prize, The Picturesque and the Sublime is a cultural history of two hundred years of nature writing in Canada, from eighteenth-century prospect poems to contemporary encounters with landscape. Arguing against the received wisdom (made popular by Northrop Frye and Margaret Atwood) that Canadian writers view nature as hostile, Susan Glickman places Canadian literature in the English and European traditions of the sublime and the picturesque. Glickman argues that early immigrants to Canada brought with them the expectation that nature would be grand, mysterious, awesome – even terrifying – and welcomed scenes that conformed to these notions of sublimity. She contends that to interpret their descriptions of nature as "negative," as so many critics have done, is a significant misunderstanding. Glickman provides close readings of several important works, including Susanna Moodie's "Enthusiasm," Charles G.D. Roberts's Ave, and Paulette Jiles's "Song to the Rising Sun," and explores the poems in the context of theories of nature and art. Instead of projecting backward from a modernist perspective, Glickman reads forward from the discovery of landscape as a legitimate artistic subject in seventeenth-century England and argues that picturesque modes of description, and a sublime aesthetic, have governed much of the representation of nature in this country. Susan Glickman is a poet living in Toronto. She is the author of Complicity, The Power to Move, Henry Moore's Sheep and Other Poems, and Hide and Seek.
