What role have anthologies played in the formation of Canadian literary taste? How have anthologies influenced the training of students from generation to generation? What literary values do the editors of various anthologies tend to support, and how do these values affect canon formation in Canada? How have different genres fared in the creation of literary anthologies? How do Canadian anthologies transmit ideas about gender, region, ideology, and nation?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecific essays focus on anthologies as national metaphors, the controversies surrounding early literary collections, representations of First Nations peoples in anthologies, and the ways in which various editors have understood exploration narratives. In addition, the collection examines the representation of women in Canadian anthologies, the use of anthologies as teaching tools, and the creation of some very odd Canadian anthologies along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction  Robert Lecker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthems and Anthologies  Richard Cavell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Poetry of the Canoe: William Douw Lighthall's \u003ci\u003eSongs of the Great Dominion\u003c\/i\u003e  D.M.R.
