- Abstract
The article presents a literary map of the city of Winnipeg through the First World War. The Reverend Charles William Gordon, who wrote with stunning monetary and critical success under the pen name Ralph Connor, was the first truly famous writer to set a novel in Winnipeg. Laura Goodman Salverson, the well-known chronicler of Manitoba's great Icelandic immigration, published her debut novel, "The Viking Heart," in 1923. In his 1970 memoir "The Boy From Winnipeg," James H. Gray, a Canadian-born banker turned writer, recalls growing up in Winnipeg around the time of the First World War.
