What is Writing Acadia : the emergence of Acadian literature 1970-1990 about?

The phenomenal development of writing and literary creation among the francophone communities of eastern Canada has gone largely unnoticed and unprobed outside the fragmented land of Acadia. <i>Writing Acadia</i> attempts for the first time to observe from a distance the invention of literature in oral Acadia, and to interpret, assess and order the manifold manifestations of the transition from epic story-telling to writing as a means of nation-building. Having begun to write, modern Acadia has truly (re)written herself into existence, an existence now threatened by postmodern unwriting of literature.<br>Destined not only for specialists but also and especially for readers with a general interest in literature, including students of all levels, <i>Writing Acadia</i> presents generous samples of Acadian poetry, drama and prose, with accompanying English translations.<br>
