- Title
The Canadian literary elite: a socio-historical perspective.
- Authors
Grayson, J. Paul; Grayson, L. M.
- Abstract
The Canadian literary elite, to the degree that it can, through its writing, support and sustain ways of looking at things, is an important segment of society. An examination of this elite reveals that a presumed "classlessness" in Canadian as compared to British literature cannot necessarily be traced to the middle class background of Canadian writers, that there are important differences in the institutions sustaining English and French Canadian authors: that the literary elite, in a number of ways, is more representative of the population than elites defined in terms of institutional position.
