In Memoriam: Hélène Brodeur
Abstract
Hélène Brodeur (1923-2010) was undoudtedly one of the most distinguished Franco-Ontarian writers. Our critical study of open spaces in her trilogy Chroniques du Nouvel-Ontario, published in the 1980s, will not only serve as a tribute to Brodeur, but will also elucidate her decisive contribution to the Franco-Ontarian emergent identity. Her narrative offers invaluable testimony of the colonization of Northern Ontario, and thereby promotes and enriches the debate about Canadian peripheral literatures, and their relation to vast geographical spaces.
