Where do Canadians encounter religious meaning? Not where they used to!In ten lively and wideranging essays, William Closson James examines various derivations of the sacred in contemporary Canadian culture. Most of the essays focus on the religious aspects of modern Canadian English fiction for example, in essays on the fiction of Hugh MacLennan, Morley Callaghan, Margaret Atwood and Joy Kogawa. But James also explores other, nonliterary events and activities in which Canadians have found something transcendant or revelatory.Each of the chapters in Locations of the Sacred can be read independently as a discrete analysis of its subject. Taken as a whole, the essays make up a powerful argument for a new way of looking at the religious in contemporary Canada not in the traditional ways of being religious, but in activities and locations previously thought to be secular. Thus, the domains and modes of the religious are expanded, not restricted.
