As Canada came to terms with its role as an independent nation
following Confederation in 1867, there was a call for a literary
voice to express the needs and desires of a new country. Children's
literature was one of the means through which this new voice found
expression. Seen as a tool for both entertaining and educating
children, this material is often overtly propagandistic and
nationalistic, and addresses some of the key political, economic,
and social concerns of Canada as it struggled to maintain national
unity during this time. From Nursery Rhymes to Nationhood studies a
large variety of children's literature written in English between
1867 and 1911, revealing a distinct interest in questions of
national unity and identity among children's writers of the day and
exploring the influence of American and British authors on the
shaping of Canadian identity. The visions of Canada expressed in
this material are often in competition with one another, but
together they illuminate the country's attempts to define itself
and its relation to the world outside its borders.
