David Stouck

David Hamilton Stouck (; born 1940) is a Canadian literary critic and biographer, formerly Professor of English at Simon Fraser University.

Stouck is known for exploring the importance of landscape in the arts: Willa Cather’s great plains, Sinclair Ross’s Saskatchewan prairie, Ethel Wilson's British Columbia. In his biography of Arthur Erickson he focuses on the architect's integration of buildings with their settings, including Simon Fraser University terracing a coastal mountaintop, the University of Lethbridge outlining a prairie coulee, Vancouver's Museum of Anthropology celebrating a shoreline, and domestic homes shoring up hillsides and defining forests.

As an editor and historian he has been concerned to rescue fragile documents, especially letters, and to make them part of the public record. Provided by Wikipedia
