Focusing on the role of urban settings in Canadian literature since 1960, this collection features critical essays that explore the city through diverse interdisciplinary lenses. Contributors analyze contemporary English-language works to offer alternative views of national literary traditions, while also reexamining the connections between Canadian identity, citizenship, and the concept of nation. The essays aim to enrich the understanding of how urban themes shape literary narratives and cultural identity in Canada.
