Description

Profiles in Canadian Literature is a wide-ranging series of essays on Canadian authors. Each profile acquaints the reader with the writer‘s work, providing insight into themes, techniques, and special characteristics, as well as a chronology of the author‘s life. Finally, there is a bibliography of primary works and criticism that suggests avenues for further study.

“I know of no better introduction to these writers, and the studies in question are full of basic information not readily obtainable elsewhere.” -U of T Quarterly
