I was writing a post that was erased. So I will be brief. I have started to edit my Canadiana pages: 1 and 2. To a significant extent, literature is written in a context. It may not be a clear product of its time nor a clear product of an author’s life, but it doesn’t stand in a void. For instance, there are elements such as intertextualité, archetypes, genres, modes, themes, and an author and his time.
The two pages listing posts on French Canada contain the title of literary works reflecting the history of French Canada. They require a little dusting. Much has happened since 2012, when many of these posts were written.
Let me locate my two pages.
This music, by Alexander Glazunov, was used in a series of television programmes. I remember loving Glazunov and the television programme.
The Seasons, Op 67: Autumn.

One needs a guide. French Canadians had cultivated their thirty acres of land. There were good years but in “Trente Arpents” (Thirty Acres) the once happy young farmer is growing old alone in the United States. Your London is fascinating.

These older posts are still relevant. There are a brief look into a novel. Then comes the music. Autumn by Glazunov.

So enjoyable that you have used Glazunov’s Seasons, dear Micheline.
Be well and stay safe!

That music is exquisite. Radio-Canada used it as a theme for “Le Survenant” (the Outlander), an excellent series. But the music alone drew me to the programme. It is music for the season. Do stay well dear D. You’re in my thoughts at this rather special moment in history. I’ve been indoors since 12 March. The neighbourhood market delivers what I need. They don’t want people touching anything, so ordering by phone is ideal.
Much love,

The movement in that Pine Island painting is lovely

This pine tree alone makes the post. It’s by Tom Thomson. He drowned at the age of 39, and his death remains a mystery. His canoe capsized. He was an extraordinary artist. This painting is one of the best produced in Even the roots curl a little. I can spend hours looking at it. I hope students who are still at home can use my pages. Montrealers are committing suicide. We are in the new wave of Covid 19. Sherbrooke is 100 miles away, but Covid goes everywhere. 🙂
