The paper will first define the terms “wilderness” and “national identity”. Canada’s national identity has always been connected to the ideas of nature and wilderness. The theme of nature played a key role in the process of Canadian identity formation. Therefore, nature is essential because it is part of Canadian self-identity. Moreover, wilderness is presented as an outstanding symbol of nation. In Canadian literature, the Canadian landscape defines Canada as a nation. Landscape and nation are intricately connected.
