Description

"In Narratology and Text, Paul Perron examines the role that literature plays in the formation of French-Canadian identity by presenting a narratological and semiotic analysis of canonical non-fictional and fictional texts from New France and Quebec. He illustrates how citizens of French-Catholic origins living in Canada have constructed their identity by defining the self both as part of a closed community founded in race, language, and religion, and as radically opposed to the other, an omnipresent heterogeneous threat to the homogeneous group."--BOOK JACKET.
