Beschreibung

In The Future of Canadian Literature, Arthur Conan Doyle dons the mantle of cultural observer and literary prophet, offering a compelling meditation on the potential of Canada's national voice. Based on his observations during his North American tours, Doyle reflects on the raw, untapped literary talent of Canada—its vast landscapes, unique history, and developing identity—and argues that these elements are fertile ground for a literary renaissance. In this brief yet powerful essay, Doyle encourages Canadian writers to break free from imitation and forge their own narrative path, inspired by the richness of their land and people. Both a tribute and a challenge, this is Doyle at his most thoughtful and optimistic—championing a literary awakening that would reflect Canada's soul and define its place on the global stage.

I HAVE often heard friends from this side speak about the interest and veneration they felt when they approached the great historical centres of Europe; but I can assure you that I, who am soaked in Canadian history, felt that same feeling when yesterday we came along the old line of invasions, when we examined the site of that Fort William Henry around which so many hostile scenes have centred; when we saw the partly destroyed Fort Ticonderoga, and when we come down the line of the old Iroquois war trail, down the Richelieu River, where every yard of advance seemed to have the glamour of history. As I approached this great city I recollected the time when only a line of frail palisades lay between its population and utter barbarism, and when a sudden wild rush of savages might have driven Europe entirely from these parts. I assure you that I felt as much veneration as I know you feel when you approach the historical centres of Europe.
