Comparing mythologies that the United States and Canada share, Canadians and Americans examines national views of their histories, from the common origin of both nations in the American Revolution, through the two world wars. The author also examines the role of nature and images of place and home in Canadian and American literary writing, noting the disparate historical development of the two national literatures. Using specific works, Morrison considers the role of religion and the church, violence and the law, and humor and satire, in the literature of both countries and also explores the role of women, race, and class in the literature of both countries.
