Theodore Harding Rand, poet and educator, gathered the work of scores of English-language Canadian poets, from figures such as Grant Allen and Charles G. D. Roberts to little-known contributors, adding short biographical notes on each. As his preface explains, the verse ranges well beyond Canadian themes, though prairies, lakes, snow and patriotic tributes run all through it.
A rich snapshot of Canadian poetry at the close of the nineteenth century, valuable for readers and researchers of the country’s early literature. Download the free EPUB.
