Authors

  • Irène Oore Dalhousie University

Abstract

In this study we trace the evolution of the main protagonists, Claire and Pauline, in the two volume autobiography by Claire Martin, In an I ton Glove (Dans un gant defer), and in the three volume semi-autobiography by Marie-Claire Blais The Manuscripts of Pauline Archange (Les manuscrits de Pauline Archange). Both works present us with the accounts i n the first person of a young girl growing up (Bildungsroman), and both trace the itinerary from oppression to communication and liberation. In this article we examine the various stages of this itinerary.
