Munro, Michael Ondaatje, Margaret Atwood, Antonine Maillet, Carol
Shields, Marie-Claire Blais, Gilles Vigneault... For over three
quarters of a century, the Governor General's Literary Awards have
been instrumental in recognizing many of Canada's best authors,
illustrators and translators. The result is impressive: between
1936 and 2017, 705 titles have been recognized with this
prestigious award. With careful attention to detail, Andrew Irvine
presents the history and evolution of the Awards and extols their
importance for the careers of authors, illustrators and
translators, as well as for the development of Canada's national
literature. The heart of the book contains the first comprehensive
bibliography of the awards, including the first list of winning
books organized according to their historically correct award
categories; information about five books wrongly omitted from
previous lists of winning titles; detailed information about award
ceremonies, film adaptations and jury members; and other key
information. This is a seminal work that belongs on the shelf of
every scholar and every lover of Canadian literature. This book is
published in English.
