The study, focusing on the writings of A. Maillet – the founding figure of modern Acadian literature – deals with the question whether the well-known Acadian and Quebec author might be considered as canonical. An analysis of the canonical novel “Pélagie-la-Charrette”, written in 1979, draws on the contemporary context and Bloom´s “The Canon of Western Literature”, canonical characteristics of the genres being relevant to the analysed text. The analysis reveals that the author substantially revises the traditional Acadian canon when fictionalizing historicity. Confronting multiple canons, A. Maillet creates a hybrid, aesthetically appealing poly-semantic text that promotes her from the “periphery” towards the “western literary canon”.
