Description

Examines the relationship between distinct periods of creative ferment in New Brunswick and the socio-cultural conditions in which those periods emerged. Contributes to current critical discussions about what constitutes “the creative” in Canadian society, especially in bilingual, rural, non-central spaces like New Brunswick.
