Nature, frontier life and Canada's position in the world are all motifs in this branch of literature which also celebrates the mélange of cultures and ethnicities pertaining to the nation. The first writings in English like those by Frances Moore Brooke and the Strickland sisters were mostly documents of travel and explorations and accounts of encounters with the Aborigines by the early settlers. Earliest poems abound with patriotic and religious zeal. Colonial Canada also witnessed the flourishing of historical romances like Wacousta. The 1920s and ‘30s saw a renaissance of Canadian poetry with the Montreal group of poets taking it a step further from the hitherto practised picturesque landscape poetry. Led by Smith, Klein, Leo Kennedy and Scott the group emulated the poetry of British and American poets and thereby introduced realistic, metaphysical, expressionist and imagist aspects into Canadian poetry. The tedious life in the prairies became the theme of the works by Sinclair Ross, WO Mitchell and Ernest Buckler. Prominent writings also came from First Nations, Inuit and ethnic minorities like the Mennonites or the Métis. Canadian literature was also enriched by diasporic writers who evoked memories of homeland in their works - Rohinton Mistry, Sam Selvon, and Cyril Dabydeen to name a few. Thus Canadian literature has carved a niche of its own in the perpetually growing world literature by reflecting the vigilant yet complementary coexistence of the indigenous and the alien.  \nMAJOR AUTHORS  \nFrances Moore Brooke (1724-1789)  \n Frances Brooke is regarded as the first Canadian novelist  \n The History of Emily Montague (1769), dedicated to Guy Carleton, is an epistolary novel comprising of 228 letters.
