内容説明

When the first edition of "Major Canadian Authors" was published in 1984 the critics wrote: 'Stouck's book brilliantly achieves its purpose of introducing Canada's most important authors writing in English' - "Choice". 'Americans seeking to know more about the literature of our northern neighbor might well start here' - "Western Historical Quarterly". 'Stouck's discussions regularly define the essential quality of a specific work or writer and often...constitute criticism of the first order, far above the requirements of a general introduction' - "University of Toronto Quarterly".Canadian literature in English presents a wealth of imaginative experience that belies the colonial status sometimes accorded the world's second-largest country.
