Download or read book New Canadian Library written by Janet Beverly Friskney and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1950s, much Canadian literature was out of print, making it relatively inaccessible to readers, including those studying the subject in schools and universities. When English professor Malcolm Ross approached Toronto publisher Jack McClelland in 1952 to propose a Canadian literary reprint series, it was still the accepted wisdom among publishers that Canadian literature was of insufficient interest to the educational market to merit any great publishing risks. Eventually convinced by Ross that a latent market for Canadian literary reprints did indeed exist, McClelland & Stewart launched the New Canadian Library (NCL) series in 1958, with Ross as its general editor. In 2008, the NCL will celebrate a half-century of publication. In New Canadian Library, Janet B. Friskney takes the reader through the early history of the NCL series, focusing on the period up to 1978 when Malcolm Ross retired as general editor. A wealth of archival resources, published reviews, and the NCL volumes themselves are used to survey the working relationship between Ross and McClelland, as well as the collaborative participation of those who, through the middle decades of the twentieth century, were committed to studying and nurturing Canada's literary heritage. To place the New Canadian Library in its proper historical context, Friskney examines the simultaneous development of Canadian literary studies as a legitimate area of research and teaching in academe and acknowledges the NCL as a milestone in Canadian publishing history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada The author has not attempted to give a history of Canada. It is a new country, and not the stage of centuries of human struggle and effort, in the sense that European countries are. Therefore his idea has been to describe the great natural features of the land, in its broader characteristics - its coasts, rivers, mountains, lakes, and prairies, those physical beauties and sublime effects of nature for which the region is specially famous. With this he has attempted to depict the seasons, and the beauty of the Canadian woods. In addition there is given a brief sketch of the settlement and development of the different communities, with special reference to the great centres of provincial and racial activities, and a reference to the people, its origins, composite ideals, and the leading actors on its historical stage of progress and accomplishment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My First Year in Canada During the first few days we had little time to ourselves, for besides my more public engage ments, our visitors vied with one another in testify ing their hearty goodwill and kindness to us. Our hearts must have been dull indeed, if we could have mistaken these tokens of affection so sincerely offered to us. On the first Sunday after our arrival, Sep tember sth (having previously re-appointed as my chaplains the two clergymen who had filled that office under my predecessor), I was duly installed in the Cathedral, a building erected nine years ago, and of great beauty, worthy of the Metro politan See of Canada. At the close of the service, I preached on the text, * 'whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Here am I, Lord, send me.' I also preached in the evening to a large and attentive congregation. And here ended the more public ceremonies connected with my entrance upon Episcopal life in Montreal - a life which I humbly trust may in some measure tend to the promotion of my Master's kingdom and glory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Canadian North West: Its Past History, Present Condition, Glorious Prospects Sir, In the noble efforts put forth by you and your colleagues to develop the vast resources of the Canadian North West yon are but completing that grand work of Confederation of which you are the master-builder. It is now becoming plainer day by day (a fact which appears to have been foreseen by you long ago) that the success of the Dominion as a whole depends in the future upon the development of the great fertile land which you are now seeking to connect more intimately with the Eastern portions of Canada. It would be a poor investment indeed for the Dominion to people and develop that great country if it were to be left unconnected with the older Provinces, or to allow it to be dependent even in the slightest degree upon the good-will or at the mercy of our neighbours in the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of a Canadian To-day) and can vouch for the absolute truthfulness of the stories; also, that the people, places, and incidents are faithfully described and that the conditions of life then existing in the different parts of Canada, as por trayed by me in the pages of this book, were absolutely true at the time. I have written The Making of a Canadian at the urgent request of many of my most respected and honored friends, consisting of ministers of the gospel, lawyers, doctors, business men, and a prominent author. I was traveling through Louisiana, Texas, and other Southern states some time ago, and this particular author was my traveling companion. He had traveled extensively in all parts of the world. As my wanderings had carried me over a good part of Europe, as well as the United States and Canada, naturally our conversation drifted into reminiscences of personal experiences in our travels, and of course we had a great many to relate. After an absence of several months we returned to New York, and as we were saying good-bye he said: My dear boy, if I had at my disposal one-half of the interesting reminiscences of travel which you have related to me, I would most certainly group them together and make a book which would not only be interesting and instructive to young people, but highly entertaining to all who read it. Write it by all means. Many others have said the same thing, if not in the same words yet in substance the meaning was the same. Therefore I have written this book of stories, entitled The Making of a Cana dian, which is a truthful recital of the life and adven tures of Jack Arling, the hero of the book. I will feel.

Download or read book Rise to Greatness written by Conrad Black and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 1146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterful, ambitious, and groundbreaking, this is a major new history of our country by one of our most respected thinkers and historians -- a book every Canadian should own. From the acclaimed biographer and historian Conrad Black comes the definitive history of Canada -- a revealing, groundbreaking account of the people and events that shaped a nation. Spanning 874 to 2014, and beginning from Canada's first inhabitants and the early explorers, this masterful history challenges our perception of our history and Canada's role in the world. From Champlain to Carleton, Baldwin and Lafontaine, to MacDonald, Laurier, and King, Canada's role in peace and war, to Quebec's quest for autonomy, Black takes on sweeping themes and vividly recounts the story of Canada's development from colony to dominion to country. Black persuasively reveals that while many would argue that Canada was perhaps never predestined for greatness, the opposite is in fact true: the emergence of a magnificent country, against all odds, was a remarkable achievement. Brilliantly conceived, this major new reexamination of our country's history is a riveting tour de force by one of the best writers writing today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French-Canadian Horse The old-time french-canadian pony, as he was called, was admitted to be a little horse of iron. Though there are no records to prove it, he could probably develop and keep on developing more power per hundred pounds of his weight than any other member of the equine family. This is explained by the fact that the first animals of this breed were sent from France to Canada by Louis XIV, who liked to do things in great style and who had given instructions to his minister Colbert, the latter very much interested to see the new colony prosper, to pick out the best specimens in his country. These horses, which remained the property of the King for three years, were distributed amongst the gentlemen of Canada who had most helped colonization and farming.
