Více o knize

Exploring the influences on early Canadian novelist John Richardson, this book examines the diverse social, cultural, and economic contexts that shaped his writing. It challenges the perception of Richardson's Gothic romances as mere imitations of popular fiction, revealing deeper complexities tied to his experiences in a tumultuous world of fur trade, imperial power, and indigenous societies. By engaging with the texts that informed Richardson, readers are invited to reassess his once-overlooked contributions to Canadian literature.
