Comparative analysis provides insights not only into literatures, but also into the distinct institutional histories and configurations within and between countries.

From its number of B.A.-granting programs, to pioneering comparisons of settler-colonial with Indigenous literatures, to experiments with alternative forms of critical composition, this volume reveals the many reasons we have to pay increased attention to the work of Canadian comparatists.
