This course surveys francophile literature of Canada, focusing on Quebec, but also including regions associated with the Acadian diaspora and other provinces. Themes such as tradition, exile and immigration, religion, family, identity, and gender will be explored during close reading of works from the 17th to the 21st centuries: prose, poetry, theater. Students will be required to read background information on the history of the francophone community of North America.
