Download or read book Fiction Treasures by Maritime Writers written by Gwendolyn Davies and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though little known today, from 1860 to 1940 Canadian novelists from the Maritime provinces were writing highly successful books which were widely read in Canada, the US, and Britain. Although today only Lucy Maud Montgomery is remembered and read, there were several dozen writers who enjoyed the same level of success and renown. This book brings these authors and their most successful books back into the spotlight of Canadian writing. In 2001, Canadian literature specialist Gwen Davies and Formac publisher James Lorimer set out to republish books by these largely forgotten Maritime authors. Readers can now discover 35 of their novels, all reprinted in Formac's Fiction Treasures series. For each book, series editor Gwen Davies commissioned an introduction by a contemporary scholar who offers a brief biography of the writer and a discussion of the text itself. As Gwen Davies notes, "These introductions not only capture new research in literary biography or publishing history, but also broaden our understanding of regional popular reading tastes from the era of Queen Victoria to the Second World War." This book brings these introductory essays together in a single volume so that readers can discover these writers and get an overview of their best works.

THE Shannon still ran up and down in front of the field. There was a crack, and a clumpet that had been frozen to the edge of the pack broke off and turned over with a crash, sending a wave rolling across the short seas. Wilson watched the edge of the ice as a few loose pieces slowly rose and fell. He looked at me meaningly, and stepping into the wheel-house, took the wheel and rang "Full speed ahead." The ice-crusher rushed around in a quadrant and went boiling down on a low place in the field, doing her eighteen knots and with her nose high in the air. It was a great sight the way she ploughed into that pack and hurled aside the clumpets. Her stem would go up as though she were going to climb out on top of the ice, and then with a great hissing of water she would break her way down through. There she'd stick, and Wilson would back her up and go at it again. After an hour or so of this work, two small pans closed in suddenly while she was backing, and she shook from stem to stern. "Propeller broken, sir," came through the engine-room speaking-tube, and we had to empty all the after tanks, and open the sea cocks into all the forward ones, until the boat's bow sank and her stern came up far enough to throw the big wheel out of water and allow us to lag on a new blade in place of one of which only a stump was left. The men worked hard, but it was after noon before we were ready to go on. In the meantime snow-clouds began to fly over the ice, and before the Shannon's nose was again up in the air we could no longer see the Duncrieff. Wilson had noted that the direction had changed but little. Evidently the pack was not turning. All afternoon the Shannon banged at the heavy ice, making a few yards at a time, then backing off and...

Download or read book The Greater Gulf written by Claire Elizabeth Campbell and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest estuary in the world, the Gulf of St Lawrence is defined broadly by an ecology that stretches from the upper reaches of the St Lawrence River to the Gulf Stream, and by a web of influences that reach from the heart of the continent to northern Europe. For more than a millennium, the gulf's strategic location and rich marine resources have made it a destination and a gateway, a cockpit and a crossroads, and a highway and a home. From Vinland the Good to the novels of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Gulf has haunted the Western imagination. A transborder collaboration between Canadian and American scholars, The Greater Gulf represents the first concerted exploration of the environmental history – marine and terrestrial – of the Gulf of St Lawrence. Contributors tell many histories of a place that has been fished, fought over, explored, and exploited. The essays' defining themes resonate in today's charged atmosphere of quickening climate change as they recount stories of resilience played against ecological fragility, resistance at odds with accommodation, considered versus reckless exploitation, and real, imagined, and imposed identities. Reconsidering perceptions about borders and the spaces between and across land and sea, The Greater Gulf draws attention to a central place and part of North Atlantic and North American history. Contributors include Rainer Baehre (Memorial University of Newfoundland), Jack Bouchard (Folger Institute), Claire Campbell (Bucknell University), Caitlin Charman (Memorial University of Newfoundland), Jack Little (Simon Fraser University), Edward MacDonald (University of Prince Edward Island), Matthew McKenzie (University of Connecticut), Suzanne Morton (McGill University), Brian Payne (Bridgewater State University), John G. Reid (St. Mary's University), and Daniel Soucier (University of Maine).
