About the Author:
W. H. New is the editor of the critical quarterly Canadian Literature and the author of Articulating West and Dreams of Speech and Violence.
From Library Journal:
New (English, Univ. of British Columbia) has done a marvelous job of detailing the taproots and multiple branches of Canada's English and French literatures, in all their forms. Beginning with Inuit and Indian myths, New charts the development of Canadian literature to early 1987. In the process, he ties many of its themes to the history, politics, and social organization of the emerging nation. A useful chronology links literature and historical events, and a fine bibliography of primarily Canadian sources is also included. New shows clearly that Canada's literature has come of age. Recommended for all academic and most public libraries.
