    Extractions: Born Jean Margaret Wemyss in Neepawa, Manitoba, she was the daughter of a solicitor. Following her graduation from United College in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1947, she married John Fergus Laurence, an engineer. His job took them to England (1949), the then-British protectorate of Somaliland (1950-1952) and Ghana (1952-1957), and Laurence's great admiration for Africa and the African peoples can be seen in her writing. The marriage ended in divorce in 1969. Laurence's first novel, This Side Jordan (1960), set in the Gold Coast prior to Ghana's independence, received critical acclaim. She followed it up with several other works dealing with life in West Africa, both from a Western and an African viewpoint. Her second and subsequent novels shifted location to Canada. In 1967 she won the Governor-General's Award for her novel A Jest of God (1966). In 1972 Laurence was made a Companion of the Order of Canada.

    Extractions: A Jest of God Buy in Canada Buy in U.K. Buy in U.S. LAURENCE, Margaret In the hearts of Canadians of a certain age, Margaret Laurence has a special place as the first great novelist of their own country that they read. Morley Callaghan had earned a large international reputation decades earlier and Hugh MacLennan had become the chronicler of Canadian sociology in fiction. But Laurence was in the vanguard of a new era of writing that would both satisfy Canadians' needs to see their own experiences in fiction and draw the attention of the world. Like great literature throughout history, her writing sprang from deep local sources but appealed to the universal. With the emergence of Laurence, Mordecai Richler and Robertson Davies in the 1960s and 1970s, you could talk for the first time about great Canadian writing the same as you could refer to modern American literature or the English novel. World-class stuff. CanLit without quotation marks. Of course, Laurence never thought of herself as helping launch a new era in Canadian literature, as far as I know. She just wrote to the best of her ability the stories she wanted to write, and it is as stories—not as historical trendsetters—that her works have to be judged today.
