No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1986–87 to 1994–95 (before that, 1974–75 to 1978–79 used the number for Themes in Canadian Literature); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
This course will focus on literary works that present various aspects of aging, such as changes in physical and mental abilities, relationships with children and grandchildren, coping with disease and death, and the satisfactions unique to the elderly.
As printed in the 1986–87 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Themes in Canadian Literature, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The course will explore a theme which is significant in the understanding of the Canadian literary mind. Examples of themes which may be considered will include: the impact of the landscape, rural-urban conflict, isolation, social conservatism, regional reality. Novels, poetry, drama, essays and biography drawn from both 19th-century and 20th-century sources may be used.
