Book Synopsis The Woman's Page by : Janice Fiamengo
Download or read book The Woman's Page written by Janice Fiamengo and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, journalism, politics, and social advocacy were largely male preserves. Six women, however, did manage to come to prominence through their writing and public performance: Agnes Maule Machar, Sara Jeannette Duncan, E. Pauline Johnson, Kathleen Blake Coleman, Flora MacDonald Denison, and Nellie L. McClung. The Woman's Page is a detailed study of these six women and their respective works. Focusing on the diverse sources of their rhetorical power, Janice Fiamengo assesses how popular poetry, journalism, essays, and public speeches enabled these women to play major roles in the central debates of their day. A few of their names, particularly those of McClung and Johnson, are still well known today, although studies of their writings and speeches are limited. Others are almost entirely unknown, an unfortunate fact given the wit, intelligence, and passion of their writing and self-presentation. Seeking to return their words to public attention, The Woman's Page demonstrates how these women influenced readers and listeners regarding their society's most controversial issues.

Download or read book Archibald Lampman written by Eric Ball and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treasuring the past, savouring the present, and wanting to do right by the future, Archibald Lampman was a poet keenly focused on the workings of time. He was also a thinker of mystical predisposition. His goal was not to transcend time, but to find redemptive meaning within it. Archibald Lampman: Memory, Nature, Progress explores the ways in which Lampman pursued this goal in relation to the three faces of time. Memory fascinated Lampman. He relished the “alchemy” by which the dross of past experience could be left behind and the gold preserved. Nature compelled his mind and emotions, and his clear-eyed observations of both countryside and wilderness settings gave rise to a self-evolved poetics of inclusiveness. In his celebrations of nature in all its manifestations, mild or bleak, he anticipated the work of iconic Canadian painter Tom Thomson and he forecasted the environmentalism of our own time. Progress for Lampman spelled societal rectification. By forwarding the cause of social betterment, one was part of a movement larger than oneself, and this expansion, too, was redemptive. Archibald Lampman: Memory, Nature, Progress is the first book on this foundational figure in Canadian literature to appear in over twenty-five years and the first thematically focused study. Combining close analysis with biographical context, it shows how Lampman’s oeuvre was shaped by his responses to his physical surroundings and to his social-intellectual milieu, as filtered through his stubbornly independent outlook.
Book Synopsis The View from Murney Tower by : Richard Allen
Download or read book The View from Murney Tower written by Richard Allen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salem Goldworth Bland (1859-1950) was among the most significant religious leaders in Canadian history. A Methodist and, later, United Church minister, Bland's long career and widespread influence made him a leading figure in the popularizing of liberal theology, social reform, and the Social Gospel movement. He was also a man who struggled with the polarities of evangelical faith and worldly culture, and who sought a unifying world-view in the mentoring of Sir J. William Dawson in the sciences, George Monro Grant in public affairs, and John Watson in philosophy. The View from the Murney Tower is a two-volume biography of Salem Bland by Richard Allen, author of The Social Passion: Religion and Reform in Canada, 1914-28. This first volume begins with Bland's upbringing in the home of an educated industrialist turned preacher. It goes on to explore his emergence as a liberating mind and eloquent speaker prepared to support new currents of scientific and social thought, as well as to discuss their implications for Christian faith and life. Allen concludes this first volume with Bland's departure from central Canada for the west in 1903, by which time he had become a somewhat controversial figure amongst conservative evangelicals throughout the country. More than just biography, however, The View from the Murney Tower is also an examination of progressive religion in late-Victorian Canada, a time in which Darwinism and other Biblical, social, and intellectual controversies were profoundly affecting the growth of a young nation.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seafarer, poet, labour activist, short story writer, Christian, philosopher, journalist, political economist, cultural critic and socialist -- Colin McKay (1876-1939) was all of these, a true working-class intellectual. Restless and inquiring, McKay left the South Shore of Nova Scotia as a boy; when he was not at sea, he lived at various times in Montreal, Saint John, Toronto, Glasgow, London, Paris, Halifax and Ottawa. From these centres, he wrote hundreds of articles for the popular press and for literary, political and labour publications. McKay's insights into a broad range of twentieth-century social, economic and cultural issues make a forceful, but until now unrecognized, contribution to Canadian intellectual history. For a Working-Class Culture in Canada rediscovers this author and his ideas. Ian McKay and Lewis Jackson have gathered more than 125 of Colin McKay's most trenchant essays, and Ian McKay's introduction and annotations set them into their intellectual and social context. Acadiensis Press and the Canadian Committee on Labour History have co-operated to publish this unique document in the history of the Canadian working class.
