Literature emerging from nineteenth-century Upper Canada, born of
dramatic cultural and political collisions, reveals much about the
colony's history through its contrasting understandings of nature,
ecology, deforestation, agricultural development, and land rights.
In the first detailed study of literary interactions between
Indigenous people and colonial authorities in Upper Canada and
Britain, Kevin Hutchings analyzes the period's key figures and the
central role that romanticism, ecology, and environment played in
their writings. Investigating the ties that bound Upper Canada and
Great Britain together during the early nineteenth century,
Transatlantic Upper Canada demonstrates the existence of a
cosmopolitan culture whose implications for the land and its people
are still felt today. The book examines the writings of
Haudenosaunee leaders John Norton and John Brant and Anishinabeg
authors Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, Peter Jones, and George Copway,
as well as European figures John Beverley Robinson, John Strachan,
Anna Brownell Jameson, and Sir Francis Bond Head. Hutchings argues
that, despite their cultural differences, many factors connected
these writers, including shared literary interests, cross-Atlantic
journeys, metropolitan experiences, mutual acquaintance, and
engagement in ongoing dialogue over Indigenous territory and
governance. A close examination of relationships between peoples
and their understandings of land, Transatlantic Upper Canada
creates a rich portrait of the nineteenth-century British Atlantic
world and the cultural and environmental consequences of
colonialism and resistance.
