About the Book
In 1886, Susan Frances Harrison published a collection of eleven stories with the Ottawa Evening Journal. Some of the stories are as topical as the North-West Rebellion of the year before, while others take an ironic perspective on the vogue for local colour, especially in French Canada. The book begins with a Canadian artist's dissapointment and breakdown in London, where he has been unable to markey his work. It ends by anticipating Stephen Leacock's Arcadian Adventures of the Idle Rich with a mordant look at the lives of the wealthy in New York City. As the reviewer in the New York Critic observes,"One hardly knows which element predominates- the picturesque, the humerous, the imaginative, or the realistic.
This edition features explanatory notes based on Harrison's marginalia. It includes a bibliography, contemporary reviews from "The Week" and "Critic", a selection of Harrison's nonfiction, a biographical essay by Carrie MacMillan, and critical essays by Margaret Steffler, Jennifer Chambers, Wanda Campbell, and Shelly Hulan.

About the Book
Around 1880, the writers in this anthology began to write poetry of a calibre not seen before in Canada. Both Isabella Valancy Crawford and William Wilfred Campbell soon emerged as distinctive voices, but Charles G. D. Roberts played the vital role. His early poetry showed the possibilities of a Canadian Romanticism to Archibald Lampman, Bliss Carman, and Duncan Campbell Scott. By the end of the century, Campbell had launched an attack on Carman that disrupted the earlier harmony of the group, and the deaths of Crawford in 1887 and Lampman in 1899 marked the end of an era. The four surviving poets would remain active for some time, but the last two decades of the nineteenth century were the great years for the Confederation poets. A Northern Romanticism includes such familiar lyrics as Roberts´ "The Tantramar Revisited," Lampman´s "Among the Timothy," and Scott´s "The Height of Land," and lesser-known works such as Crawford´s "Gisli: the Chieftain," Roberts´ New York Nocturnes (1998), and Carman´s Sappho lyrics (1905).
This anthology features introductions to each poet, bibliographies, and explanatory notes as well as essays from Charles G. D. Roberts, Archibald Lampman, Bliss Carman, Duncan Campbell Scott, E. K. Brown, R. E. Rashley, Malcolm Ross, Germaine Warkentin, D.M.R. Bentley, Stan Dragland, and Susan Glickman.
Tracy Ware is the editor of Levi Adams´ Jean Baptiste (Canadian Poetry Press) and the author of articles on Shelley, Wordsworth, Poe, Naipaul, Keneally, and various aspects of Canadian literature. He teaches English at Queen´s University.
