Reading and Resituating Charles Sangster’s The St. Lawrence and the Saguenay as a Canadian Pilgrimage Poem
Journal Title: Anglica. An International Journal of English Studies - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
Developing on 150 years of reviews and scholarship of Charles Sangster’s The St. Lawrence and the Saguenay, this paper contends that Sangster’s poem is not merely derivative of British and American Romantic poetry, or a vague tourist poem, but that Sangster employs the language and images of Christian pilgrimage to purposefully detail the pilgrimage of his soul.
