While issues of race, gender, and sexuality are now circulating in literary studies and their 'constructedness' is being debated, the relations of class, poverty, and narrative have not been thoroughly examined until now. Here, poverty is treated not simply as a theme in literature but as a force that in fact shapes the texts themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRimstead adopts the notion of a common culture to include more ordinary voices in national culture, in this case the national culture of Canada. Short stories, novels, autobiographies, and oral histories by Canadian women, including canonized writers such as Gabrielle Roy, Margaret Lawrence, and Alice Munro, are considered in addition to lesser known writers and ordinary women. Drawing on theoretical work from a wide range of disciplines, this book is a deeply radical reflection on how literature, popular culture, and academic discourse construct knowledge about the poor in wealthy countries like Canada and how the poor, in turn, can inform the way we think about nation, community, and national culture itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven the scope of the study, Rimstead's work will appeal not only to literary scholars and Canadian social historians, but to students and instructors of women's studies, cultural studies, and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Gabrielle Roy Prize, English Language, awarded by the Association for Canadian and Qu?bec Literatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roxanne Rimstead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.14h x 5.72w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802082701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRimstead, Roxanne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eRoxanne Rimstead\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the D?partement Lettres et communications, Universit? de Sherbrooke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40389513773171,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":66.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_fb9c6a73-3001-4384-8d08-7c1ce4916ad2.jpg?v=1661608996","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/remnants-of-nation-on-poverty-narratives-by-women-9780802082701","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
