Attempt all the ten questions and answer each question
in approximately 500 words.
1. Canada’s literary enterprise has passed through many
stages. Discuss its journey and the impacts that have helped Canada to evolve
its own literary traditions and identity.
10
Canadian literature has often had to deal with such
differences in attitude, not just because many Canadian authors were born
elsewhere and brought outsiders’ expectations with them, but also because
popular attitudes often perpetuated stereotypes of Canada. Three pervasive
stereotypes portray Canada as (1) a physical desert, (2) a cultural wasteland
and (3) a raw land of investment opportunity and resource extraction. These
distortions have created an audience for stereotypes, which Canadian writers
sometimes reinforced by writing romantic adventures of the frozen North, in
which everything local was savage or hostile and “civilization” was imported.
But over time, they sought to record local experience and to use literature to
shape their own culture rather than to imitate or defer to the presumptions of
another society.
Insofar as Canadian culture continues to be shaped by a
range of languages in use and by wide variations in geography, social
experience, Indigenouscultures, immigrationpatterns and proximity to
Europe, Asia and the USA, the “Canadian voice” is not uniform. Nevertheless,
however much their aesthetic practices and political commitments may differ,
Canadian writers bring many shared perspectives to their representations of
nature, civility and human interaction, whether at home or abroad.
From settlement to 1900
The first writers of English in Canada were
visitors—explorers, travelers, and British officers and their wives—who
recorded their impressions of British North America in charts,
diaries, journals, and letters. These foundational documents of journeys and
settlements presage the documentary tradition in Canadian literature in which
geography, history, and arduous voyages of exploration and discovery
represent the quest for a myth of origins and for a personal and
national identity. As the critic Northrop Frye observed, Canadian
literature is haunted by the overriding question “Where is here?”; thus,
metaphoric mappings of peoples and places became central to the evolution of
the Canadian literary imagination.
The earliest documents were unadorned narratives of
travel and exploration. Written in plain language, these accounts document
heroic journeys to the vast, unknown west and north and encounters with Inuit
and other native peoples (called First Nations in Canada), often on
behalf of the Hudson’s Bay Company and the North West Company,
the great fur-trading companies. The explorer Samuel
Hearne wrote A Journey from Prince of Wales’s Fort in Hudson’s Bay to
the Northern Ocean (1795), and Sir Alexander Mackenzie, an explorer
and fur trader, described his travels in Voyages from Montreal…Through the
Continent of North America, to the Frozen and Pacific
Oceans (1801). Simon Fraser recorded details of his 1808 trip
west to Fraser Canyon (The Letters and Journals of Simon Fraser,
1806–1808, 1960). Captain John Franklin’s published account of a British
naval expedition to the Arctic, Narrative of a Journey to the
Shores of the Polar Sea (1823), and his mysterious disappearance during a
subsequent journey reemerged in the 20th century in the writing of
authors Margaret Atwood and Rudy Wiebe. A Narrative of the
Adventures and Sufferings of John R. Jewitt (1815) is a captivity
narrative that describes Jewitt’s experience as a prisoner of
the Nootka (Nuu-chah-nulth) chief Maquinna after Jewitt was
shipwrecked off Canada’s west coast; on the whole, it presents a
sympathetic ethnography of the Nuu-chah-nulth people. The Diary of Mrs.
John Graves Simcoe (1911) records the everyday life in 1792–96 of the wife
of the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada (now Ontario). In 1838 Anna
Jameson published Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada, an account
of her travels in the New World.
2. Write a detailed note to show how the literatures in
English, emerging from South Asia, reflect the colonial encounter.

3. Through his novel, A Grain of Wheat, Ngugi presents
his views about the British colonial rule in Kenya. Discuss with examples from

4. Soyinka believed that an artist should not live in
an ivory tower and instead should write works which were socially relevant.
Discuss how A Dance of the Forests reflect his social concerns.

5. Ice-Candy Man highlights feminist concerns.
Elucidate the role played by the major female characters of the novel.
10
6. A House for Mr. Biswas is a chronicle of
socio-political changes vis-à-vis Trinidad society. Discuss with examples from
the text.
10
7. Language is an effective tool for exerting control
and battles can be fought on the linguistic terrain. Discuss this with reference
to the Caribbean colonization.
10
8. Critically analyse the poem ‘Ananse’ by Edward
Brathwaite.
10
9. Write a detailed note on myth, symbol and allegory
present in The Solid Mandala.

10. Discuss The Stone Angel as a novel of awakening
citing examples from the text.
