Summary:	Montreal was the literary centre of Canada in the 1940s, a hotbed of literary activity in both English and French crowned by the international success of Hugh MacLennan's Two Solitudes and Gabrielle Roy's The Tin Flute. With the rise of nationalism in both English Canada and Quebec, Toronto emerged as the literary centre of English Canada, with Montreal the literary centre of Quebec. In literary terms, Canada and Quebec became two different countries, with two different languages and two different literatures. English Montreal went into decline and its once-great writers were marginalized. Writing in the Time of Nationalism is an insider's story of writers caught between these rival nationalisms. Herself a writer, Linda Leith has been a leading figure in Montreat's English-language literary milieu for 25 years. The story she tells is the story of a literary community that went missing from the map of Canada for a generation, and that has je-emerged over the past ten years in an Anglo Literary Revival that is garnering international attention. --Book Jacket.
