Download or read book Cape Breton Folk (Classic Reprint) written by C. H. Farnham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cape Breton Folk On issuing from the woods at the head of St. Ann's Bay we saw before us a long stretch of the first part of our walk. The bay begins with a pretty complication of the blue sea with points, coves, and white plaster cliffs among trees. Before it widens to the ocean it runs on in a long narrow harbor' between two walls of hills diversified with forests, fertile slopes, and rugged cliffs; on the left hand the wall ends in a bold head land, Cape Smoky, rising from the distant sea-line; on the right the ridge ends in a low point, set off with the hamlet of English Town and a snow-white light-house relieved against the deep blue sea. The region was first occupied by the French, who built some fortifications at English Town to protect their fisheries. When the island passed into the hands of the English, the place was abandoned. By sundown we reached the neighborhood of English Town, and began to inquire for lodgings. Many a time the people of Cape Breton boasted to me of their hospitality.

Download or read book Quest of the Folk written by Ian McKay and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1994-09-19 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use and abuse of the idea of the "Simple Life" in tourism promotion and the massive dissemination of folk images are analysed in depth. McKay examines how Nova Scotia's cultural history was rewritten to erase evidence of an urban, capitalist society, of class and ethnic differences, and of women's emancipation. He sheds new light on the roles of Helen Creighton, the Maritime region's most famous folklorist, and Mary Black, an influential handicrafts revivalist, in creating this false identity. McKay also looks at the infusion of the folk ideology into the art and literature of the region. McKay puts the folk concept into contemporary and international contexts by drawing on Marxist notions of political economy, Gramscian models of cultural production and hegemony, and Foucaultian structuralism. The Quest of the Folk will be of interest to folklorists, cultural historians, literary scholars, and anyone with an interest in the local history of the Maritimes or Maritime regional identity.

Download or read book No Great Mischief written by Alistair MacLeod and published by Emblem Editions. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander MacDonald guides us through his family’s mythic past as he recollects the heroic stories of his people: loggers, miners, drinkers, adventurers; men forever in exile, forever linked to their clan. There is the legendary patriarch who left the Scottish Highlands in 1779 and resettled in “the land of trees,” where his descendents became a separate Nova Scotia clan. There is the team of brothers and cousins, expert miners in demand around the world for their dangerous skills. And there is Alexander and his twin sister, who have left Cape Breton and prospered, yet are haunted by the past. Elegiac, hypnotic, by turns joyful and sad, No Great Mischief is a spellbinding story of family, loyalty, exile, and of the blood ties that bind us, generations later, to the land from which our ancestors came.
