The Daughters Way investigates negotiations of female subjectivity in twentiethcentury Canadian womens elegies with a special emphasis on the fathers death as a literary and political watershed. The book examines the work of Dorothy Livesay, P.K. Page, Jay Macpherson, Margaret Atwood, Kristjana Gunnars, Lola Lemire Tostevin, Anne Carson, and Erin Mour as elegiac daughteronomiesliterary artifacts of mourning that grow from the poets investigation into the function and limitations of elegiac convention. Some poets treat the father as a metaphor for sociopolitical power, while others explore more personal iterations of loss, but all the poets in The Daughters Way seek to redefine daughterly duty in a contemporary context by challenging elegiac tradition through questions of genre and gender.Beginning with psychoanalytical theories of filiation, inheritance, and mourning as they are complicated by feminist challenges to theories of kinship and citizenship, The Daughters Way debates the efficacy of the literary work of mourning in twentiethcentury Canadian poetry. By investigating the way a daughters filial piety performs and sometimes reconfigures such work, and situating melancholia as a creative force in womens elegies, the book considers how elegies inquire into the rhetoric of mourning as it is complicated by fatherdaughter kinship.
