Canadian literature in French took root amid the discovery and developing of Canada by French immigrants.Its birth and growth chronicles the historical trajectory of French Canadian society and its dreams and pursuits and its perseverance and resistance.The earliest written records on New France date back to no more than 400 years and the history of Canadian literature in French is not particularly long.The representative works of each historical period not only bear the distinctive marks of their times,but also testify to a constant effort to construct national identity,a diversification of writing themes and self-renewal in writing techniques.Renewing itself from the 1960s and embracing the multicultural world of today,Canadian literature in French has come to possess distinctive qualities and charm in the world literature in French.
