"The Imperialist" is a novel written by Sara Jeannette Duncan. The story is set in the fictional Canadian town of Elgin and revolves around the life of a young woman named Lorne Murchison. Lorne is an ambitious and spirited character who becomes deeply involved in local politics and social issues. The novel explores themes of imperialism, nationalism, and gender roles during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lorne, influenced by her father's political ideals, embraces a vision of Canada as an imperial power. She becomes an advocate for Canadian nationalism and works to promote the interests of her country in the face of British influence. Through Lorne's experiences, the novel delves into the complexities of identity and the conflicts between loyalty to one's nation and personal ambitions. It also examines the changing dynamics of Canadian society as it grapples with its relationship to the British Empire. "The Imperialist" offers a nuanced portrayal of Canadian society and provides insights into the political and social climate of the time. Duncan's engaging storytelling and sharp observations make the novel a significant contribution to Canadian literature and an exploration of the complexities of identity, nationalism, and imperialism.
