À propos de ce contenu audio

 Published in 1894, The Untempered Wind catapulted Joanna Wood to international acclaim, quickly establishing her as Canadas highest-paid fiction writer. This poignant novel paints a vivid portrait of village life, weaving together a rich tapestry of characters—from the refined to the rough, the humble to the self-righteous, the virtuous to the wicked. At the heart of the narrative is Myron Holder, a young unwed mother deemed a ‘fallen woman’ by the judgmental villagers. An early reviewer likened Wood to Canada’s Charlotte Brontë for her empathetic portrayal of a woman striving for independence amidst societal scorn. A more fitting comparison may be to Thomas Hardy, as Myron navigates the harsh realities of fate—the unyielding untempered wind that shapes her journey. In Silenced Sextet, a 1993 analysis of once-prominent Canadian women writers, Joanna Wood is recognized as a pivotal figure in the evolution of realism in Canadian literature, celebrated for her authentic depiction of everyday village life.Copyright Culture and Heritage classics Art Sciences sociales
