Topics addressed include the strong strain of medievalist fantasy itself in the work of the young-adult author Kit Pearson, and the longer novels of Charles de Lint, Steven Erikson, and Guy Gavriel Kay; the medievalist inclinations of Archibald Lampman and W.W. Campbell, well-known nineteenth-century Canadian poets; and the often-studied \u003ci\u003eWacousta\u003c\/i\u003e by John Richardson, first published in 1832.  Chapters also cover early Canadian periodicals' engagement with orientalist medievalism; and works by twentieth-century writers such as the irrepressible Earle Birney, the witty and intellectual Robertson Davies, and the fascinating and learned Margaret Atwood.","brand":"M J Toswell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280351637755,"sku":"9781843845478","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781843845478.jpg?v=1772487521","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/medievalism-in-english-canadian-literature-9781843845478","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
