加拿大英语文学在我国的外语界迄今仍是鲜为人知的一门学科。本刊从这期起特约请刚从加拿大学术考察归来的上海外国语学院英语系胡曙中副教授就一些加拿大英语文学家作简明扼要的介绍,以引起我国外语界的兴趣和重视。 Canadian English literature is still a little-known subject in our country’s foreign language circles. Since this issue, we have just invited Professor Hu Shushu, an associate professor of English at Shanghai International Studies University, who has just returned from an academic study in Canada to give a concise introduction to some Canadian English writers in order to arouse the interest and attention of our foreign language community.
