Review
"This anthology provides an excellent selection of the major authors in Canadian literature. . . The author biographies, headnotes, and explanatory footnotes are extremely helpful, informative, and well written: not presuming prior knowledge yet still sophisticated and engaging for a university audience." --Janice Fiamengo, University of Ottawa
