About
Daniela Janes serves as a Sessional Lecturer III-Long Term in the Department of English and Drama at the University of Toronto Mississauga, specializing in Canadian literary traditions with emphasis on Indigenous voices, modernist movements, and First World War narratives. Her academic profile centers on late-nineteenth to early-twentieth-century Canadian writers and the structural complexities of short fiction forms.
Her research interrogates trauma representation in works like Rilla of Ingleside, epiphanic structures in Joyce and Mistry, and social reform themes in Victorian industrial novels. She examines how historical events reshape narrative temporality and explores Indigenous literary sovereignty within colonial contexts, particularly through short story cycles and war literature.
Publication trends reveal sustained engagement with Canadian literary historiography, demonstrating methodological versatility across comparative analysis (De Mille/Martel), modernist studies (Joyce/Mistry), and trauma theory (Montgomery). Her work consistently bridges canonical and marginalized voices, with recent scholarship focusing on First World War poetry and Nobel-recognized short fiction traditions in Canadian letters.
