Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Essays Critical and Historical The following essays have appeared during the past few years in various magazines, and are now submitted to the public for the first time in book form. It will be noticed that they all deal with some phase of Canadian history or literature, and it is hoped that their publication will to some extent attain the purpose which their author has in view, namely, the promotion of a wider and better acquaintance on the part of Canadians with the historical and intellectual development of their own country. It is quite true that nothing can be added to the literary worth of an author by injudicious praise, nor will puffery give poet, novelist or historian a seat in the parquet of true merit or a niche in the temple of permanent fame. Yet does it not seem, to say the least, shortsighted and unpatriotic that we Canadians should busy ourselves with the literary beginnings of other lands, and pay but little heed to the literary colonizers and toilers of our own?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English-Canadian Literature AS Canada a voice of her own in literature distinct H from that of England P This question has attracted a good deal of attention in Canada and has been the subject of numerous discussions in home magazines and reviews. In Great Britain, however, the critical periodicals apparently have not yet recognized a purely Canadian1 literature. While these periodicals have frequently reviewed the literatures of Norway, Sweden, Russia, the United States, Spain, Italy and other countries, no British critic so far seems to have thought Canadian literary achievement of sufficient importance to treat it seriously as a whole or to look for its distinctive note. The United States has a literature fine and forceful, and though the language is the language of England the voice is her own: her writers have a vigorous national note, and narrate and sing the achievements of their ancestors and contemporaries in a manner characteristic of a nation that in so short a time has attained a giant's proportions. Has Canada such a voice? The answer is that she has not one of great volume, it is true; but, as we shall see, in poetry at least, the Canadian note is clear and distinct and the performance is of good quality and of permanent value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Canadian Literature (English) Frequently I heard the statement made by men who ought to know, that Canada had no literature of its own, and in order to supply this deficiency of our intellectual life we had to depend upon the literary talent of Britain and that of our neighbors to the south of us. But in coming into Canada has the British race lost its ambitions and mental vigor? If so, why? The assertion is not true obviously with regard to the subduing of the forest and the cultivating of the virgin soil of this rich and vast country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Canadian Poets: With Occasional Critical and Biographical Notes, and an Introductory Essay on Canadian Poetry Olav the illiterate and unredecting adopt the sentiment, that, because more books havcobeen already produced than can possibly be read in the compass of the longest life, to increase the number of books or the quantity of literature, is undesirable and unnecessary. The literature of the world is the foot-prints of human progress; and unless all progress should cease, and mental paralysis arrest all human activity, these way-marks shall continue to be erected along the pathway of the vanishing years. Whatever is discovered as new in the records of creation, in the capacities and relations of things, in the history of the mind's operations, or in the forms of thought and imagery by which in its higher moods soul speaks to soul, will always demand some suitable embodiment in literature.

Download or read book From Canadian Poets written by Edward Hartley Dewart and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Canadian Poets: With Occasional Critical and Biographical Notes, and an Introduction Essay on Canadian Poetry My object in compiling this volume has been to rescue from oblivion some of the floating pieces of Canadian authorship worthy of preservation in a more permanent form; and to direct the attention of my fellow-countrymen to the claims of Canadian poetry. The fact that I entered on an untrodden path, without any way-marks to guide me, necessarily caused me a vast amount of labor, and an extensive correspondence; as, in many instances, both poets and poetry had to be discovered by special research. This will, I hope, be duly considered by readers in judging of the work, should it be found less perfect than they had anticipated. As I do not wish to be judged by a wrong standard, I must remind my readers that this is not "a work on the Poets and Poetry of Canada." Such a-work may be highly desirable and necessary; and there is valuable material, in the poetic effusions of the past fifty years, with which to enrich such a work. But this collection makes no pretension to such a character: it is simply "Selections from Canadian Poets." With the hope of enhancing the interest and usefulness of the work, I have subjoined occasional brief notes; but the plan and scope of the work precluded any lengthy biographical sketches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadians of Old Much elated with this discovery, and congratulating myself that I had more brains than the unhappy eleven of whom my friend had spoken, I hurry to my library, I furnish myself, perhaps all too appropriately, with a ream of the paper called foolscap, and I set myself to work. I write for my own amusement, at the risk of weary ing the reader who may have the patience to go through this volume. But, as Nature has made me compassionate, I will give this dear reader a little good advice. He had better throw away the unlucky book without taking the trouble to criticise it, which would be making it much too important, and would be, moreover, but wasted labor for the serious critic; for, unlike that Old Archbishop of Granada, so touchy on the subject of his sermons, of whom Gil Blas has told us, I am, for my part, blessed with an easy humor, and, instead of retorting to my critic I wish you good luck and very much better taste, I will frankly admit that my book has a thousand faults, of most of which I have a lively consciousness.
