Gabrielle Roy: An Annotated Bibliography and Guide to Studies about the Author and her Works
Get PDFGabrielle Roy (1909-1983) is one of Canada\u27s most important 20th century women writers of fiction. Born in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, a French-speaking community across the Red River from Winnipeg, Gabrielle was the youngest child in a large family. In 1929, after two years of training at the Winnipeg Normal Institute, she began a teaching career in Manitoba. Eight years later, she traveled to Europe to study dramatic art. There she began to develop her talent as a writer and wrote her first published articles. The outbreak of World War II in 1939 hastened her return to Canada where she settled in Montreal and became a free-lance journalist. For the next six years, she researched and wrote human interest stories for a living while working on a novel set in the St. Henri district of Montreal, Bonheur d\u27occasion /The Tin Flute. Published in 1945, Bonheur d\u27occasion was an enormous success. It won several literary prizes, including the Prix Fémina, a prestigious award from France. Her other major published fictional works include: La Petite poule d\u27eau /Where Nests the Water Hen (1950), Alexandre Chenevert /The Cashier (1954), Rue Deschambault /Street of Riches (1955), La Montagne secrète /The Hidden Mountain (1961), La Route d\u27Altamont /The Road Past Altamont (1966), La Rivière sans repos /Windflower (1970), Cet été qui chantait /Enchanted Summer (1972), Un Jardin au bout du monde /Garden in the Wind (1975), Ces enfants de ma vie/Children of my Heart (1977), and De quoi t\u27ennuies-tu, Éveline? /What\u27s Bothering You Éveline? (1982). La Détresse et l\u27enchantement, /Enchantment and Sorrow (1984), written before her death and published posthumously, was to have been the first volume of her autobiography. François Ricard is leading the effort to edit and publish material from notes and drafts she intended for a subsequent volume of the work.
The goal of this bibliography is to make available to interested persons a comprehensive guide to scholarly studies and biographical material on the life and work of Gabrielle Roy

Essays in Anarchism and Religion
Get PDF"Anarchism and religion have historically had an uneasy relationship. Indeed, representatives of both sides have regularly insisted on the fundamental incompatibility of anarchist and religious ideas and practices. Yet, ever since the emergence of anarchism as an intellectual and political movement, a considerable number of religious anarchists have insisted that their religious tradition necessarily implies an anarchist political stance.
Reflecting both a rise of interest in anarchist ideas and activism on the one hand, and the revival of religious ideas and movements in the political sphere on the other, this multi-volume collection examines congruities and contestations between the two from a diverse range of academic perspectives.
The third volume of Essays in Anarchism & Religion includes five essays focusing on particular individuals – Abraham Heyn, Leo Tolstoy, Herbert Read, Daniel Guérin and Martin Buber – one essay on the affinities between mysticism and anarchism, and one surveying the vast territory of ‘spiritual anarchism’.
In a world where political ideas increasingly matter once more, and religion is an increasingly visible aspect of global political life, these essays offer scholarly analysis of overlooked activists, ideas and movements, and as such reveal the possibility of a powerful critique of contemporary global society.
