The Canadian Shields brings together fifty short writings by Carol Shields, including more than two dozen previously unpublished short stories and essays and two dozen essays previously published but never before collected. Invaluable to admirers of Shields’s work, these writings discovered by Nora Foster Stovel reflect Shields’s interest in the relationships between reality and fiction, mothers and daughters, and gender and genre. They also reveal her love of Winnipeg, her home for twenty years.
Carol Shields (1935–2003) was an American-born Canadian award-winning novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, and poet.
Nora Foster Stovel is Professor Emerita at the University of Alberta. She has published on Jane Austen, D.H. Lawrence, Margaret Laurence, and Carol Shields, including The Collected Poetry of Carol Shields and Relating Carol Shields’s Essays and Fiction: Crossing Borders.
