Description
A fascinating account of a crucial period in Canadian literary history ... [which] will [be] indispensable to future scholarship on the writers and texts it discusses. It makes available the results of massive research into private correspondence, obscure journals, newspapers, and archival materials, all contextualized by a formidable knowledge of the major and minor literary currents of the age ... [and] sheds new light on some of the best known and most frequently discussed 'Confederation' poems through demonstrating their close relationship to the cultural and historical context in which they were produced.
