Many former members of European empires have demonstrated a need to overcome the colonial process and assert a "postcolonial" culture. Applying postcolonial analysis to Canadian literature, Margaret Turner argues that many nineteenth- and twentieth-century Canadian texts are engaged in the creation of a new discursive space and that new world conditions have decisively informed the discourse of fiction of English Canada.
