Doctoral Candidate under Professor Marc Maufort.

Research Project

Using Canadian novels of the First World War, from 1914-1939, this thesis examines the portrayal of wounded and disabled soldiers. Employing a new historicist approach, it explores issues of masculinity, nationality and disability by tracing how these novels depicted the physical effect of conflict on soldiers’ bodies, how that depiction altered as war literature changed and how the novels both supported and undermined state attempts to control the evolving portrayal of soldiers’ health.
