Aristotle and then Horace appealed to understanding and learning (and specifically poetry) as a delight. I can say that the poets Weingarten discusses do that more often than not and so, too, does Weingarten himself.\" - Jonathan Locke Hart (\u003cem\u003eAmerican Review of Canadian Studies\u003c\/em\u003e) \u003cp\u003e\"Weingarten\u0026amp;#x2019;s commendable research and polemical appeal will cause literary critics to reassess their impression of post-1960s lyric poetry, and may even cause contemporary poets to re-examine and re-evaluate the role of history in their own poetry.\"\u003c\/p\u003e - Stephen Cain, York University (\u003cem\u003eThe Canadian Historical Review\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSharing the Past\u003c\/em\u003e is an unprecedentedly detailed account of the intertwining discourses of Canadian history and creative literature. When social history emerged as its own field of study in the 1960s, it promised new stories that would bring readers away from the elite writing of academics and closer to the everyday experiences of people. Yet, the academy\u0026amp;#x2019;s continued emphasis on professional \u003cem\u003edistance\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eobjectivity \u003c\/em\u003emade it difficult for historians to connect with the experiences of those about whom they wrote, and those same emphases made it all but impossible for non-academic experts to be institutionally recognized as historians.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews and new archival materials to construct a history of Canadian poetry written since 1960, \u003cem\u003eSharing the Past\u003c\/em\u003e argues that the project of social history has achieved its fullest expression in lyric poetry, a genre in which personal experiences anchor history. Developing this genre since 1960, Canadian poets have provided an inclusive model for a truly social history that indiscriminately shares the right to speak authoritatively of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAl Purdy\u0026amp;#x2019;s Modern Skepticism \u003cbr\u003eDeveloping a Lyric Historiography \u003cbr\u003eLyric and Regionalism: Challenging Histories Part 1 \u003cbr\u003eThe Métis Uprisings: Challenging Histories Part 2 \u003cbr\u003eInheriting the Past \u003cbr\u003eThe \"Edge of the Photograph\": Developmental Long Poems \u003cbr\u003eSharing Authority\u003cbr\u003eFigurative Families and Feminism \u003cbr\u003eIndigeneity and Performance: The Fictions of Nations \u003cbr\u003eThe Future of History\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cbr\u003eWorks Cited \u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595448938776,"sku":"9781487501044","price":43.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sharing-the-past-the-reinvention-of-history-in-canadian-poetry-since-1960-hardback-9781487501044","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
