Where FREN-3954 counts
Counts toward 3 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

Description
This course offers a critical study of first-person literature in Canada, including Manitoba. Texts may include autobiographies, autofiction, memoirs, diaries, and letters. Students study the works of authors such as Gabrielle Roy, France Theoret, Nelly Arcan, Denise Bombardier, Claire Martin, and Gerald Leblanc from a literary perspective, with a focus on how their texts communicate a personal point of view. Students analyze the ways authors present their experiences with a concentration on the different forms personal writing can take, and what these forms suggest about the social and historical contexts in which first-person literature is produced in Canada.
