His first collection of comparative essays was hailed in 'Saturday Night' as demonstrating "that a critic can actually enhance the literature he is studying". In The New Hero, Ronald Sutherland, novelist, critic, essayist, teacher, and scholar, surpasses his earlier achievement. These new essays serve to corroborate the conclusion of his earlier work, that English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians have a great deal in common and that their respective writings reveal a spectrum of shared values and attitudes. In this new work the similarity is highlighted by Sutherland's discovery that a 'new hero' has emerged in Canadian letters. This 'new hero', who has 'lurked' in the work of earlier writers, has now 'exploded from the pages' of contemporary Canadian fiction in both languages. Writing in a style that is urbane and wise, witty and spritely, Professor Sutherland casts widely in these essays, and draws the net of his unique perception and intellect tightly around his theme. Frederick Philip Grove, Yvon Deschamps, Robertson Davies, Adrien Th�rio, Andr� Langevin, Adele Wiseman, and Sinclair Ross are just a few of the writers whose work is discussed in this intriguing collection. This book is a literary delight - full of incisive and startling observations on the culture, history, and writing of all Canada. -- Contents: introduction; The New Hero; Tabernacles � Douze �tages; War in a Rearview Mirror; Thoughts on Five Writers [What Was Frederick Philip Grove?; Literary Heavyweights of Quebec; New Life for the Old Monologue; Relevance of Robertson Davies]; The Mainstream; Notes; Bibliography; Index.
