The novels — and occasionally paintings, films, and musicals — that are the subject of the book provide a deliberately varied set of case studies to probe how US texts, along with works of art produced on both sides of the Canada-US border, uncover moments in Canadian historical and literary studies that have been buried or occluded to protect Canada's self-representation as an exceptional nation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Laying the Groundwork: Canada’s (In)visibility.Chapter 1: The Missionary Position: The American Roots of Northrop Frye’s Peaceable Kingdom.Chapter 2: \u003ci\u003eEvangeline’s \u003c\/i\u003eRevisioning: Reading Ben Farmer’s Post-9\/11 \u003ci\u003eEvangeline: A Novel\u003c\/i\u003e.
