4.9/5 (32477 ratings)

Description:From the Preface by Arthur James Marshall Smith...The prose literature illustrated in this panorama of almost exactly a hundred years of Canadian history forms a companion to the poetry in the earliest sections of The Book of Canadian Poetry. The two books together will provide the reader with a broad picture of the literature of our colonial period.On the whole, the writing in the present book differs from the verse of the same period and from most of the later literature. It is more practical, more purely expository, usually simpler, and generally less sophisticated and literary. This is sometimes a defect or a limitation, but more often it is not. Directness, homeliness, and an abscence of self-conciousness can give the comparative artlessness of primitive or colonial writing the virtues of strength and simplicity.East Lansinf Michigan A.J.M.S.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
