Résumé

In this look at place, referring back to Northrop Frye's famous question "Where is here?" several Canadian writers – Paul-Marie Lapointe, Anne Hebert, Louis Hemon, Dennis Lee, Saint-Denys-Garneau, and Gatien Lapointe – are considered in order to suggest the importance of carrying on an obscure, intimate, never-ending dialogue with oneself and one's world, of discovering oneself in the world and the world in oneself. This search for the universal through the particular and individual is seen in both English- and French-Canadian literature whose writers struggle to find a place within the human body and the Earth itself.
