The South African War (1899-1902) and the Transperipheral Production of Canadian Literatures
Year: 2019
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This dissertation explores the South African War (1899)(1900)(1901)(1902) and Canadian literary production.I examine newspapers, periodicals, and books published during and shortly after the War to argue that early articulations of Canadian identity, settler colonial discourses of whiteness and gender, and ideas about national literature were informed by Canada's participation in a conflict in a distant settler colony.I have been inspired throughout my studies by many great thinkers.My dissertation committee, especially, is comprised of some of the strongest and most inspiring scholars, and for their intellectual generosity, I am grateful.To Dr. Jennifer Henderson: I am indebted to your encyclopedic knowledge of the nineteenth century, your critical close reading of my work, and for introducing me to settler colonial theory in your seminar class.Your thinking and teaching have forever reoriented my relationship
