E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) was a Native advocate of
part-Mohawk ancestry, an independent woman during the period of
first-wave feminism, a Canadian nationalist who also advocated
strengthening the link to imperial England, a popular and versatile
prose writer, and one of modern Canada's best-selling poets.
Johnson longed to see the publication of a complete collection of
her verse, but that wish remained unfulfilled during her life. Nine
decades after her death, the first complete collection of all of
Pauline Johnson's known poems, many painstakingly culled from
newspapers, magazines, and archives, is now available.
In response to the current recognition of Johnson's historical
position as an immensely popular and influential figure of the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this volume also presents
a representative selection of her prose, including fiction about
native-settler relations, journalism about women and recreation,
and discussions of gender roles and racial stereotypes.
Edited by Carole Gerson and Veronica Strong-Boag, authors of the
enthusiastically received "Paddling Her Own Canoe: Times and Texts
of E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake)," this collection exhibits the
same impeccable scholarship and is essential to a full
understanding of Johnson as a major Canadian writer and cultural
figure.
