Sharing the Past is an unprecedentedly detailed account of the
intertwining discourses of Canadian history and creative
literature. When social history emerged as its own field of study
in the 1960s, it promised new stories that would bring readers away
from the elite writing of academics and closer to the everyday
experiences of people. Yet, the academy's continued emphasis on
professional distance and objectivity made it difficult for
historians to connect with the experiences of those about whom they
wrote, and those same emphases made it all but impossible for
non-academic experts to be institutionally recognized as
historians. Drawing on interviews and new archival materials to
construct a history of Canadian poetry written since 1960, Sharing
the Past argues that the project of social history has achieved its
fullest expression in lyric poetry, a genre in which personal
experiences anchor history. Developing this genre since 1960,
Canadian poets have provided an inclusive model for a truly social
history that indiscriminately shares the right to speak
authoritatively of the past.
