About This Book
Walker contends that the biographical image of Emily Carr that emerges from an accumulation of biographies, films, plays and poetry as well as her won autobiographical writing establishes an elaborated cultural artefact - an "image" that is bound by its very nature to remain forever incomplete and always elusive.
She demonstrates how changes in Carr's biographical image parallel the maturing of Canadian biographical writing, reflecting attitudes toward women artists and the shifting balance between religion, secular attitudes and contemporary spirituality. And she concludes that biography plays a crucial role in all our lives in initiating and sustaining debate on vital personal and collective concerns.
