First university-level Canadian Literature and Canadian Drama courses in Canada

[Kathryn Harvey]

Hi Moira, all,

The Macdonald Institute, which was one of the three founding colleges of 
the University of Guelph, began teaching Canadian Literature in its 
English Literature course offerings in 1907. Margery Fee's article 
called "Canadian Literature and English Studies in the Canadian 
University" (/Essays in Canadian Writing/ 1992/93 Issue 48) provides a 
good account of the subject's evolution.

I haven't been able--in my admittedly cursory review--to discern whether 
there was any Canadian drama component...

Cheers,
Kathryn
