The Collected Letters of Charles G.D. Roberts

Résumé du livre

Sir Charles G.D. Roberts has often been called the "Father of Canadian Literature." His letters, of which more than a thousand appear in this volume, demonstrate that there's more truth than hyperbole in this description. The letters included in this collection offer fascinating insights into Roberts' private life and personal preoccupations, all the while documenting the growth of Canadian literature from the 1880s to the 1930s. This edition of The Collected Letters was initiated by the late Desmond Pacey, continued by Fred Cogswell (who supplies an introduction to the volume), and completed by Laurel Boone.
