Man Should Rejoice is one of two hitherto unpublished novels by
acclaimed novelist Hugh MacLennan. Completed in 1937 and left
unpublished due to economic conditions during the Great Depression,
it lay in the McGill archives until now. This critical edition of
Man Should Rejoice , which is also the first-ever publication of
the work, is comprised of a critical introduction, a bibliography
of published and unpublished sources, a fully-edited text based on
a typescript of the novel, a list of textual emendations, and
explanatory notes. The introduction draws upon extensive research
undertaken in three Canadian archival collections located in
Montreal and Calgary. It provides relevant historical, cultural,
and biographical context for the novel. From hundreds of archival
documents, Colin Hill reconstructs a textual history of the novel's
production that acknowledges the crucial contribution of Dorothy
Duncan, who heavily revised the text and assisted MacLennan behind
the scenes. Hill also explores the critical reception of
MacLennan's fiction from the 1930s to the present. This book is
published in English. - Man Should Rejoice est un des deux romans
