Eva-Marie Kröller is a leading scholar in the field of Canadian Literature. Known internationally for her innovative critical inquiries and meticulous editorial skills, she combines a wide range of knowledge with close attention to detail. In her highly praised Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature, and as Editor of Canadian Literature (quarterly), she demonstrated a remarkable ability to balance competing ideas and perspectives. Her other published works, which address such topics as travel writing, poetry in the 1960s, and cultural history have extended her reputation as a judicious scholar of Canadian writing and its milieu; by looking afresh at these topics, her works have reshaped how the field has now come to be read.
