In 1802, the Lower Canada legislative library was founded, being one of the first in Occident, the first in the Canadas. For comparison, the library of the British House of Commons was founded sixteen years later. The library had some rare titles about geography, natural science and letters. All books it contained were moved to the Canadian parliament in Montreal when the two Canadas, lower and upper, were united. On April 25, 1849, a dramatic event occurred: the Canadian parliament was burned by furious people along with thousands of French Canadian books and a few hundred of English books. This is why some people still affirm today, falsely, that from the early settlements until the 1820s, Quebec had virtually no literature. Though historians, journalists, and learned priests published, overall the total output that remain from this period and that had been kept out of the burned parliament is small.

It was the rise of Quebec patriotism and the 1837 [[Lower Canada Rebellion]], in addition to a modern system of primary school education, which led to the rise of French-Canadian fiction. ''[[L'influence d'un livre]]'' by [[Philippe-Ignace-Francois Aubert de Gaspé]] is widely regarded as the first French-Canadian novel. The genres which first became popular were the rural novel and the historical novel. French authors were influential, especially authors like [[Balzac]].
[[File:Gabrielle Roy 1945.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Gabrielle Roy]] was a notable French Canadian author.]]
In 1866, Father [[Henri-Raymond Casgrain]] became one of Quebec's first literary theorists. He argued that literature's goal should be to project an image of proper [[Catholic]] morality. However, a few authors like [[Louis-Honoré Fréchette]] and [[Arthur Buies]] broke the conventions to write more interesting works.

This pattern continued until the 1930s with a new group of authors educated at the [[Université Laval]] and the [[Université de Montréal]]. Novels with psychological and sociological foundations became the norm. [[Gabrielle Roy]] and [[Anne Hébert]] even began to earn international acclaim, which had not happened to French-Canadian literature before. During this period, Quebec theatre, which had previously been melodramas and comedies, became far more involved.

French-Canadian literature began to greatly expand with the turmoil of the [[World War II|Second World War]], the beginnings of industrialization in the 1950s, and most especially the [[Quiet Revolution]] in the 1960s. French-Canadian literature also began to attract a great deal of attention globally, with [[Acadian]] [[novelist]] [[Antonine Maillet]] winning the [[Prix Goncourt]]. An experimental branch of Québécois literature also developed; for instance the poet [[Nicole Brossard]] wrote in a formalist style.
In 1979, [[Roch Carrier]] wrote the story ''[[The Hockey Sweater]]'', which highlighted the cultural and social tensions between [[English Canada|English]] and [[French Canada|French]] speaking Canada.

'{{For|the quarterly academic journal|Canadian Literature (journal)}} {{Multiple issues| {{More footnotes|date=March 2014}} {{Original research|date=February 2010}}}} {{Culture of Canada}} '''Canadian literature''' has been created in [[Canadian English]], [[Canadian French]], and [[Canadian Gaelic]], and more recently by [[Indigenous Literatures in Canada|First Nations]] and immigrants of other ancestral backgrounds. Influences on Canadian writers are broad, both geographically and historically, representing Canada's diversity in culture and region. While mostly written in English, "Indigenous literature" has begun to flourish and is based upon many distinct oral traditions, languages, and cultural practices. However, Canadians have been less willing to acknowledge the diverse languages of Canada, such as [[Canadian Gaelic]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Newton|first1=Michael|title=Seanchaidh na Coille / The Memory-Keeper of the Forest|date=2015|publisher=Cape Breton University Press}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Rankin|first1=Effie|title=A shared song lasts long|url=http://www.gaelic.ca/song.html|website=Comhairle na Gàidhlig|publisher=Gaelic Council of Nova Scotia|accessdate=14 January 2017}}</ref> {{History of modern literature}} The dominant European cultures were originally English, French, and Gaelic. However, in recent decades Canada's literature has been strongly influenced by immigrants from other countries. Since the 1980s Canada's ethnic and cultural diversity has been openly reflected in its literature, with many of its most prominent writers focusing on ethnic minority identity, duality and cultural differences. ==Indigenous literature== {{main|Indigenous literatures in Canada}} Indigenous peoples of Canada are culturally diverse.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=http://csc.immix.ca/files/30/1278480166aboriginal.pdf|title=Aboriginal Literatures in Canada: A Teacher’s Resource Guide A Teacher’s Resource Guide|last=Eigenbrod |first=Renate |display-authors=etal|date=2003}}</ref> Each group has its own literature, language and culture.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=http://indigenousfoundations.adm.arts.ubc.ca/culture/|title=Culture|website=indigenousfoundations.adm.arts.ubc.ca|language=en-US|access-date=2017-03-21}}</ref><ref name=":3" /> The term "Indigenous literature" therefore can be misleading.

For example, [[Susanna Moodie]] and [[Catharine Parr Traill]], English sisters who adopted the country as their own, moved to [[Upper Canada]] in 1832. They recorded their experiences as pioneers in Parr Traill's ''The Backwoods of Canada'' (1836) and ''Canadian Crusoes'' (1852), and Moodie's ''Roughing It in the Bush'' (1852) and ''Life in the Clearings'' (1853). However, both women wrote until their deaths, placing them in the country for more than 50 years and certainly well past Confederation. Moreover, their books often dealt with survival and the rugged Canadian environment; these themes re-appear in other Canadian works, including [[Margaret Atwood]]'s ''Survival''. Moodie and Parr Traill's sister, [[Agnes Strickland]], remained in England and wrote elegant royal biographies, creating a stark contrast between Canadian and English literatures. However, one of the earliest "Canadian" writers virtually always included in Canadian literary anthologies is [[Thomas Chandler Haliburton]] (1796&ndash;1865), who died just two years before Canada's official birth. He is remembered for his comic character, Sam Slick, who appeared in ''The Clockmaker'' and other humorous works throughout Haliburton's life. ==After 1867== [[File:Charles G. D. Roberts cph.3a43709.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Charles G. D. Roberts]] was a poet that belonged to an informal group known as the [[Confederation Poets]].]] A group of poets now known as the "[[Confederation Poets]]", including [[Charles G. D. Roberts]], [[Archibald Lampman]], [[Bliss Carman]], [[Duncan Campbell Scott]], and [[William Wilfred Campbell]], came to prominence in the 1880s and 1890s. Choosing the world of nature as their inspiration, their work was drawn from their own experiences and, at its best, written in their own tones. [[Isabella Valancy Crawford]], [[Frederick George Scott]], and [[Francis Joseph Sherman|Francis Sherman]] are also sometimes associated with this group. During this period, [[Pauline Johnson|E. Pauline Johnson]] and [[William Henry Drummond]] were writing popular poetry - Johnson's based on her part-[[Mohawk nation|Mohawk]] heritage, and Drummond, the Poet of the Habitant, writing dialect verse. The [[Lucy Maud Montgomery|L. M. Montgomery]] novel ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'' was first published in 1908. It has sold an estimated 50 million copies and is one of the [[best selling books]] worldwide.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSN1754861220080319 Reuters] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113023844/http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSN1754861220080319|date=2010-01-13}} on ''Anne of Green Gables'': ""Anne of Green Gables" has sold more than 50 million copies and been translated into 20 languages, according to Penguin."

Canadian author [[Farley Mowat]] is best known for his work ''[[Never Cry Wolf]]'' (1963) and his Governor General's Award-winning children's book, ''[[Lost in the Barrens]]'' (1956). Following World War II, writers such as Mavis Gallant, Mordecai Richler, Norman Levine, Margaret Laurence and Irving Layton added to the Modernist influence to Canadian literature previously introduced by [[F.&nbsp;R. Scott]], [[A.&nbsp;J.&nbsp;M. Smith]] and others associated with the ''McGill Fortnightly''. This influence, at first, was not broadly appreciated.

Some great 20th-century Canadian authors include [[Margaret Laurence]], and [[Gabrielle Roy]].

During the post-war decades only a handful of books of any literary merit were published each year in Canada, and Canadian literature was viewed as an appendage to British and American writing. When academic [[Clara Thomas]] decided in the 1940s to concentrate on Canadian literature for her master's thesis, the idea was so novel and so radical that word of her decision reached ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' books editor [[William Arthur Deacon]], who then personally reached out to Thomas to pledge his and the newspaper's resources in support of her work.<ref name=advocate>[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/author-and-educator-clara-thomas-was-a-relentless-advocate-of-canlit/article15666600/ "Author and educator Clara Thomas was a relentless advocate of CanLit"].

In the 1960s, a renewed [[nationalism|sense of nation]] helped foster new voices in Canadian poetry, including: [[Margaret Atwood]], [[Michael Ondaatje]], [[Leonard Cohen]], [[Eli Mandel]] and [[Margaret Avison]]. Others such as [[Al Purdy]], [[Milton Acorn]], and [[Earle Birney]], already published, produced some of their best work during this period. The [[TISH]] Poetry movement in Vancouver brought about poetic innovation from [[Jamie Reid]], [[George Bowering]], [[Fred Wah]], [[Frank Davey]], [[Daphne Marlatt]], David Cull, and [[Lionel Kearns]]. [[File:A passionate George Elliot Clarke recites poetry 2015 07 09 (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|The former [[Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate]] [[George Elliott Clarke]] (2015)]] Canadian poets has been expanding the boundaries of originality: [[Christian Bök]], [[Ken Babstock]], [[Karen Solie]], Lynn Crosbie, [[Patrick Lane]], [[George Elliott Clarke]] and [[Barry Dempster]] have all imprinted their unique consciousnesses onto the map of Canadian imagery. A notable anthology of Canadian poetry is ''The New Oxford book of Canadian Verse'', edited by Margaret Atwood ({{ISBN|0-19-540450-5}}). [[Anne Carson]] is probably the best known Canadian poet living today. Carson in 1996 won the [[Lannan Literary Award]] for poetry.

'{{For|the quarterly academic journal|Canadian Literature (journal)}} {{Multiple issues| {{More footnotes|date=March 2014}} {{Original research|date=February 2010}}}} {{Culture of Canada}} '''Canadian literature''' has been created in [[Canadian English]], [[Canadian French]], and [[Canadian Gaelic]], and more recently by [[Indigenous Literatures in Canada|First Nations]] and immigrants of other ancestral backgrounds. Influences on Canadian writers are broad, both geographically and historically, representing Canada's diversity in culture and region. While mostly written in English, "Indigenous literature" has begun to flourish and is based upon many distinct oral traditions, languages, and cultural practices. However, Canadians have been less willing to acknowledge the diverse languages of Canada, such as [[Canadian Gaelic]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Newton|first1=Michael|title=Seanchaidh na Coille / The Memory-Keeper of the Forest|date=2015|publisher=Cape Breton University Press}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Rankin|first1=Effie|title=A shared song lasts long|url=http://www.gaelic.ca/song.html|website=Comhairle na Gàidhlig|publisher=Gaelic Council of Nova Scotia|accessdate=14 January 2017}}</ref> {{History of modern literature}} The dominant European cultures were originally English, French, and Gaelic. However, in recent decades Canada's literature has been strongly influenced by immigrants from other countries. Since the 1980s Canada's ethnic and cultural diversity has been openly reflected in its literature, with many of its most prominent writers focusing on ethnic minority identity, duality and cultural differences. ==Indigenous literature== {{main|Indigenous literatures in Canada}} Indigenous peoples of Canada are culturally diverse.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=http://csc.immix.ca/files/30/1278480166aboriginal.pdf|title=Aboriginal Literatures in Canada: A Teacher’s Resource Guide A Teacher’s Resource Guide|last=Eigenbrod |first=Renate |display-authors=etal|date=2003}}</ref> Each group has its own literature, language and culture.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=http://indigenousfoundations.adm.arts.ubc.ca/culture/|title=Culture|website=indigenousfoundations.adm.arts.ubc.ca|language=en-US|access-date=2017-03-21}}</ref><ref name=":3" /> The term "Indigenous literature" therefore can be misleading. As writer [[Jeannette Armstrong]] states in one interview, "I would stay away from the idea of "Native" literature, there is no such thing. There is [[Mohawk people|Mohawk]] literature, there is [[Okanagan people|Okanagan]] literature, but there is no generic Native in Canada".<ref name=":3" /> reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ==Before Confederation== {{multiple image | align = right | direction = horizontal | image1 = SusannahMoodie.jpeg | width1 = 91 |footer= Sisters [[Susanna Moodie]] and [[Catherine Parr Traill]] wrote several stories about their experiences in [[the Canadas]]. | image2 = CatherineParrTraillcrop.png | width2 = 129 }} Because Canada only officially became a country on July 1, 1867, it has been argued that literature written before this time was colonial. For example, [[Susanna Moodie]] and [[Catharine Parr Traill]], English sisters who adopted the country as their own, moved to [[Upper Canada]] in 1832. They recorded their experiences as pioneers in Parr Traill's ''The Backwoods of Canada'' (1836) and ''Canadian Crusoes'' (1852), and Moodie's ''Roughing It in the Bush'' (1852) and ''Life in the Clearings'' (1853). However, both women wrote until their deaths, placing them in the country for more than 50 years and certainly well past Confederation. Moreover, their books often dealt with survival and the rugged Canadian environment; these themes re-appear in other Canadian works, including [[Margaret Atwood]]'s ''Survival''. Moodie and Parr Traill's sister, [[Agnes Strickland]], remained in England and wrote elegant royal biographies, creating a stark contrast between Canadian and English literatures. However, one of the earliest "Canadian" writers virtually always included in Canadian literary anthologies is [[Thomas Chandler Haliburton]] (1796&ndash;1865), who died just two years before Canada's official birth. He is remembered for his comic character, Sam Slick, who appeared in ''The Clockmaker'' and other humorous works throughout Haliburton's life. ==After 1867== [[File:Charles G. D. Roberts cph.3a43709.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Charles G. D. Roberts]] was a poet that belonged to an informal group known as the [[Confederation Poets]].]] A group of poets now known as the "[[Confederation Poets]]", including [[Charles G. D. Roberts]], [[Archibald Lampman]], [[Bliss Carman]], [[Duncan Campbell Scott]], and [[William Wilfred Campbell]], came to prominence in the 1880s and 1890s. Choosing the world of nature as their inspiration, their work was drawn from their own experiences and, at its best, written in their own tones. [[Isabella Valancy Crawford]], [[Frederick George Scott]], and [[Francis Joseph Sherman|Francis Sherman]] are also sometimes associated with this group. During this period, [[Pauline Johnson|E. Pauline Johnson]] and [[William Henry Drummond]] were writing popular poetry - Johnson's based on her part-[[Mohawk nation|Mohawk]] heritage, and Drummond, the Poet of the Habitant, writing dialect verse. The [[Lucy Maud Montgomery|L. M. Montgomery]] novel ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'' was first published in 1908. It has sold an estimated 50 million copies and is one of the [[best selling books]] worldwide.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSN1754861220080319 Reuters] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113023844/http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSN1754861220080319|date=2010-01-13}} on ''Anne of Green Gables'': ""Anne of Green Gables" has sold more than 50 million copies and been translated into 20 languages, according to Penguin."

Canadian author [[Farley Mowat]] is best known for his work ''[[Never Cry Wolf]]'' (1963) and his Governor General's Award-winning children's book, ''[[Lost in the Barrens]]'' (1956). Following World War II, writers such as Mavis Gallant, Mordecai Richler, Norman Levine, Margaret Laurence and Irving Layton added to the Modernist influence to Canadian literature previously introduced by [[F.&nbsp;R.

Some great 20th-century Canadian authors include [[Margaret Laurence]], and [[Gabrielle Roy]].

During the post-war decades only a handful of books of any literary merit were published each year in Canada, and Canadian literature was viewed as an appendage to British and American writing. When academic [[Clara Thomas]] decided in the 1940s to concentrate on Canadian literature for her master's thesis, the idea was so novel and so radical that word of her decision reached ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' books editor [[William Arthur Deacon]], who then personally reached out to Thomas to pledge his and the newspaper's resources in support of her work.<ref name=advocate>[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/author-and-educator-clara-thomas-was-a-relentless-advocate-of-canlit/article15666600/ "Author and educator Clara Thomas was a relentless advocate of CanLit"].

In the 1960s, a renewed [[nationalism|sense of nation]] helped foster new voices in Canadian poetry, including: [[Margaret Atwood]], [[Michael Ondaatje]], [[Leonard Cohen]], [[Eli Mandel]] and [[Margaret Avison]]. Others such as [[Al Purdy]], [[Milton Acorn]], and [[Earle Birney]], already published, produced some of their best work during this period. The [[TISH]] Poetry movement in Vancouver brought about poetic innovation from [[Jamie Reid]], [[George Bowering]], [[Fred Wah]], [[Frank Davey]], [[Daphne Marlatt]], David Cull, and [[Lionel Kearns]]. [[File:A passionate George Elliot Clarke recites poetry 2015 07 09 (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|The former [[Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate]] [[George Elliott Clarke]] (2015)]] Canadian poets has been expanding the boundaries of originality: [[Christian Bök]], [[Ken Babstock]], [[Karen Solie]], Lynn Crosbie, [[Patrick Lane]], [[George Elliott Clarke]] and [[Barry Dempster]] have all imprinted their unique consciousnesses onto the map of Canadian imagery.

For comparison, the library of the British House of Commons was founded sixteen years later. The library had some rare titles about geography, natural science and letters. All books it contained were moved to the Canadian parliament in Montreal when the two Canadas, lower and upper, were united. On April 25, 1849, a dramatic event occurred: the Canadian parliament was burned by furious people along with thousands of French Canadian books and a few hundred of English books. This is why some people still affirm today, falsely, that from the early settlements until the 1820s, Quebec had virtually no literature. Though historians, journalists, and learned priests published, overall the total output that remain from this period and that had been kept out of the burned parliament is small. - -It was the rise of Quebec patriotism and the 1837 [[Lower Canada Rebellion]], in addition to a modern system of primary school education, which led to the rise of French-Canadian fiction. ''[[L'influence d'un livre]]'' by [[Philippe-Ignace-Francois Aubert de Gaspé]] is widely regarded as the first French-Canadian novel. The genres which first became popular were the rural novel and the historical novel. French authors were influential, especially authors like [[Balzac]]. -[[File:Gabrielle Roy 1945.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Gabrielle Roy]] was a notable French Canadian author.]] -In 1866, Father [[Henri-Raymond Casgrain]] became one of Quebec's first literary theorists. He argued that literature's goal should be to project an image of proper [[Catholic]] morality. However, a few authors like [[Louis-Honoré Fréchette]] and [[Arthur Buies]] broke the conventions to write more interesting works. - -This pattern continued until the 1930s with a new group of authors educated at the [[Université Laval]] and the [[Université de Montréal]]. Novels with psychological and sociological foundations became the norm. [[Gabrielle Roy]] and [[Anne Hébert]] even began to earn international acclaim, which had not happened to French-Canadian literature before. During this period, Quebec theatre, which had previously been melodramas and comedies, became far more involved. - -French-Canadian literature began to greatly expand with the turmoil of the [[World War II|Second World War]], the beginnings of industrialization in the 1950s, and most especially the [[Quiet Revolution]] in the 1960s. French-Canadian literature also began to attract a great deal of attention globally, with [[Acadian]] [[novelist]] [[Antonine Maillet]] winning the [[Prix Goncourt]].

For comparison, the library of the British House of Commons was founded sixteen years later. The library had some rare titles about geography, natural science and letters. All books it contained were moved to the Canadian parliament in Montreal when the two Canadas, lower and upper, were united. On April 25, 1849, a dramatic event occurred: the Canadian parliament was burned by furious people along with thousands of French Canadian books and a few hundred of English books. This is why some people still affirm today, falsely, that from the early settlements until the 1820s, Quebec had virtually no literature. Though historians, journalists, and learned priests published, overall the total output that remain from this period and that had been kept out of the burned parliament is small.', 4 => '', 5 => 'It was the rise of Quebec patriotism and the 1837 [[Lower Canada Rebellion]], in addition to a modern system of primary school education, which led to the rise of French-Canadian fiction. ''[[L'influence d'un livre]]'' by [[Philippe-Ignace-Francois Aubert de Gaspé]] is widely regarded as the first French-Canadian novel. The genres which first became popular were the rural novel and the historical novel. French authors were influential, especially authors like [[Balzac]].', 6 => '[[File:Gabrielle Roy 1945.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Gabrielle Roy]] was a notable French Canadian author.]]', 7 => 'In 1866, Father [[Henri-Raymond Casgrain]] became one of Quebec's first literary theorists. He argued that literature's goal should be to project an image of proper [[Catholic]] morality. However, a few authors like [[Louis-Honoré Fréchette]] and [[Arthur Buies]] broke the conventions to write more interesting works.', 8 => '', 9 => 'This pattern continued until the 1930s with a new group of authors educated at the [[Université Laval]] and the [[Université de Montréal]]. Novels with psychological and sociological foundations became the norm. [[Gabrielle Roy]] and [[Anne Hébert]] even began to earn international acclaim, which had not happened to French-Canadian literature before. During this period, Quebec theatre, which had previously been melodramas and comedies, became far more involved.', 10 => '', 11 => 'French-Canadian literature began to greatly expand with the turmoil of the [[World War II|Second World War]], the beginnings of industrialization in the 1950s, and most especially the [[Quiet Revolution]] in the 1960s. French-Canadian literature also began to attract a great deal of attention globally, with [[Acadian]] [[novelist]] [[Antonine Maillet]] winning the [[Prix Goncourt]]. An experimental branch of Québécois literature also developed; for instance the poet [[Nicole Brossard]] wrote in a formalist style.', 12 => 'In 1979, [[Roch Carrier]] wrote the story ''[[The Hockey Sweater]]'', which highlighted the cultural and social tensions between [[English Canada|English]] and [[French Canada|French]] speaking Canada.' ]

However, both women wrote until their deaths, placing them in the country for more than 50 years and certainly well past Confederation. Moreover, their books often dealt with survival and the rugged Canadian environment; these themes re-appear in other Canadian works, including <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Margaret_Atwood" title="Margaret Atwood">Margaret Atwood</a>'s <i>Survival</i>. Moodie and Parr Traill's sister, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Agnes_Strickland" title="Agnes Strickland">Agnes Strickland</a>, remained in England and wrote elegant royal biographies, creating a stark contrast between Canadian and English literatures. </p><p>However, one of the earliest "Canadian" writers virtually always included in Canadian literary anthologies is <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Thomas_Chandler_Haliburton" title="Thomas Chandler Haliburton">Thomas Chandler Haliburton</a> (1796&#8211;1865), who died just two years before Canada's official birth.
