Quebec Fiction: In the Shadow of "Maria Chapdelaine."

Mezei, Kathy

College English, v50 n8 p896-903 Dec 1988

Claims that Quebec writers in the 1960s-80s, buoyed by nationalist and separatist aims, created alternative "Marias" who write out of their language, dreams, and bodies, and who are trying to effect a further liberation. Asks where future trajectories invented by Quebec writers will propel their readers next. (RAE)
