Introduction to Literature: Planning and Teaching a First-year Course
A first anthology of its kind, A Dark Conspiracy and Other nineteenth-Century Canadian Short Stories in English anthologizes the best stories written by Canadians.
Short fiction is the most modern genre in nineteenth-century Canadian literature. It is perfectly synchronous with short-story developments in the United States and Europe. While they contributed to the establishment of a “national” Canadian literature with their fact-based realism, nineteenth-century short-story writers in Canada also explored new literary forms and tried to capture the fleeting nature of modern life.
The present anthology of nineteenth-century Canadian short stories is the most comprehensive ever published. It is also the most inclusive: of the thirty-five stories selected, eighteen were written by women.
Our books are made for the college classroom. They have beautiful covers and layout, to entice students to read. The margins are slightly bigger, so students can take discreet notes. The paper, the fonts, the spacing between the lines create a flowing rhythm and encourage reading.
- Strong editorial matter: introductions and annotations that are reflective of current scholarship as well as editorial practices;
- Useful apparatus in our In the classroom series that guide instructors and students through the most important aspects of the period, author’s life, publications;
- Monographs and collections of essays that engage with issues upfront and that offer ways to understand the world, be it the past or the present.
