| Abstract: | If history is more or less bunk, then memory is more or less craft. In The Stone
Carvers Jane Urquhart depicts characters who are traumatically hauled into the
modern age, and suffer for it. This painful journey begins with the foundation of a
pioneer village in South-western Ontario and ends with a redemptive kind of healing
on former French battlefields after WWI. Across all this time and space, memory and
the power of art and craft are crucial in maintaining social fabric as well as the
individual psyche. |
