Book Description

For nearly 100 years, Indian boarding schools in Canada and the US produced newspapers read by white settlers, government officials, and Indigenous parents. These newspapers were used as a settler colonial tool, yet within these tightly controlled narratives there also existed sites of resistance. This book traces colonial narratives of language, time, and place from the nineteenth-century to the present day, post-Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Author Bio

Jane Griffiths joined Wadham as Fellow in English in September 2012. Matriculating in 1988, she was an undergraduate and graduate at Magdalen, and taught for four years as a lecturer at St Edmund Hall. She subsequently held posts at Edinburgh and, most recently, at Bristol.

Jane works primarily on English poetry and drama of the 15th and 16th centuries. Her first book was John Skelton and Poetic Authority: Defining the Liberty to Speak (OUP, 2006); her second Diverting Authorities: Experimental Glossing Practices in Manuscript and Print (OUP, 2015). 

With Adam Hanna of University College Cork, she is co-editing Architectural Space and the Imagination: Houses in Literature and Art from Classical to Contemporary (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020); her other current research is on late-medieval English lyric, with a particular focus on macaronics and composition practices. 

She has had five collections of poetry published by Bloodaxe Books, of which Another Country (2008) was shortlisted for the Forward Prize, and Silent in Finisterre (2017) was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
