Synopsis "Robert Kroetsch: Essayist, Novelist, Poet (Reappraisals: Canadian Writers) (in English)"

Robert Kroetsch: Essayist, Novelist, Poet brings together an international cast of critics, scholars, and writers to examine, re-examine, and honour the celebrated author's immense significance in the twenty-first century, and what it means to be Canadian and part of the country's literary landscape. Original essays by Dennis Cooley, Phil Hall, Nicole Markotic, Aritha van Herk, and Rudy Wiebe, among others.The author of nine novels, thirteen books of poetry, and seven non-fiction volumes, Robert Kroetsch (1927-2011) was a major figure in the development and history of literature in Canada. He won the Governor General's Award for Fiction for The Studhorse Man (1969) and was shortlisted for the Governor General's Award for Poetry for The Hornbooks of Rita K. (2001). He received honorary degrees from the University of Winnipeg (1983) and the University of Alberta (1997), and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada (2004).Robert Kroetsch stands as a seminal figure in the Canadian literary landscape. In his early fiction he introduced postmodern techniques into the mainstream of Canadian fiction. He then moved on to writing poetry while still writing fiction, and created a new vision for poets across the country, defining the nature of the poetic experience by searching out the roots of his place in the Canadian landscape.Robert Kroetsch: Essayist, Novelist, Poet is a timely reminder of the immense significance that Kroetsch holds in the twenty-first-century understanding of what it means to be Canadian and part of the country's literary landscape.This book is published in English.-Robert Kroetsch (1927-2011) est une figure majeure de l'histoire et du développement de la littérature au Canada. Son roman intitulé The Studhorse Man (1969) lui a permis de remporter le Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général dans la catégorie roman et nouvelles; par ailleurs, son recueil de poésie, intitulé The Hornbooks of Rita K. (2001), a figuré sur la liste des finalistes du Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général dans la catégorie poésie. De plus, il s'est vu décerner un doctorat honoris causa par deux universités canadiennes, l'Université de Winnipeg (1983) et l'Université de l'Alberta (1997), et il a été fait officier de l'Ordre du Canada (2004).Robert Kroetsch est une figure marquante du paysage littéraire canadien. Dans ses premiers ouvrages de fiction, il a introduit des techniques de narration postmodernes dans le courant dominant et jusqu'alors plutôt conventionnel de la fiction canadienne. Il a ensuite entrepris d'écrire de la poésie tout en poursuivant son oeuvre romanesque. Ce faisant, il a su créer une nouvelle vision pour les poètes canadiens; il a, entre autres, défini la nature de l'expérience poétique en se questionnant sur le sens de l'identité canadienne et sur la place qu'il occupait dans le paysage littéraire canadien.L'ouvrage intitulé Robert Kroetsch romancier, poète et essayiste constitue un rappel opportun de l'importance considérable de cet auteur majeur, qui nous a permis de mieux comprendre ce que cela signifiait d'être Canadien au XXIe siècle et d'appartenir au paysage littéraire canadien.Ce livre est publié en anglais.
