In this comparative study of six Canadian novels, Marie Vautier examines reworkings of myth in the postcolonial context. Through detailed readings of these works Vaultier situates New World myth within the broader contexts of political history and of classical, biblical and historical myths.
There is an emphasis on de-constructing, de-centring, de-stabilizing, and especially de-mythologizing in the study that illustrates New World myth narrators questioning the past in the present and carrying out their original investigations of myth, place, and identity. Underlining the fact that political realities are encoded in the language and narrative of the works, Vautier argues that the reworkings of literary, religious, and historical myths and political ideologies in these novels are grounded in their shared situation of being in and of the New World.
