This talk will take up the crucial significance of of<br />
Wingham and Huron County in Munro’s<br />
imagination. More than most writers,<br />
Munro’s Home Place (Wright<br />
Morris’s phrase, she acknowledges)<br />
— its details, its textures, its mores,<br />
its landscapes, and its geology<br />
— is key to her accomplishment.<br />
Tracing this from her early work<br />
on, and detailing the importance of of<br />
her 1973-75 return to Ontario<br />
and Huron County from British<br />
Columbia — I will try to define<br />
her creation of of<br />
“Alice Munro Country.”<br />
