E.J. Pratt and the Gateway to Canada
Jennifer Delisle
As the first literary figure of the Newfoundland diaspora, E.J. Pratt’s “authenticity” as a Newfoundlander has been the subject of much debate. Delisle analyzes receptions of Pratt’s work through the mid-twentieth century, suggesting that his role in the development of Canadian literary nationalism makes him a figure onto which a series of anxieties about diasporic, regional, and national identity are projected.
