Man Should Rejoice is one of two hitherto unpublished novels by
acclaimed novelist Hugh MacLennan. Completed in 1937 and left
unpublished due to economic conditions during the Great Depression,
it lay in the McGill archives until now. This critical edition of
Man Should Rejoice , which is also the first-ever publication of
the work, is comprised of a critical introduction, a bibliography
of published and unpublished sources, a fully-edited text based on
a typescript of the novel, a list of textual emendations, and
explanatory notes. The introduction draws upon extensive research
undertaken in three Canadian archival collections located in
Montreal and Calgary. It provides relevant historical, cultural,
and biographical context for the novel. From hundreds of archival
documents, Colin Hill reconstructs a textual history of the novel's
production that acknowledges the crucial contribution of Dorothy
Duncan, who heavily revised the text and assisted MacLennan behind
the scenes. Hill also explores the critical reception of
MacLennan's fiction from the 1930s to the present. This book is
published in English. - Man Should Rejoice est un des deux romans

Through the Bottom of a Glass is the continuing story of Donald
Jackson, the ex-telephone engineer pretending to be a private eye.
There is still no sign of little girls, white rabbits or mad
hatters but there is one big girl, a dead dog and a couple of
rather annoyed managers.
A book without white rabbits, little girls or mad hatters. But it
does feature a dead cat, a couple of prostitutes and a deranged car
mechanic. So, there is something for everyone in this story about
an ex telephone engineer pretending to be Sam Spade.
A collection of short stories; some dark, some humorous, some
darkly humorous, some humorously dark and some neither dark nor
humorous, just some.
This is a new critical edition of the acknowledged best Canadian
novel of the 1930s. Irene Baird's "Waste Heritage" is a
groundbreaking work of Canadian fiction based on the dramatic and
violent labour disputes that took place in British Columbia in
1938. The story follows the progress of two friends, Matt Striker,
a 23-year-old from Saskatchewan, and his simple-minded companion
Eddy, as they travel from Vancouver to Victoria following the
occupation of the Vancouver Post Office. Like the unemployed masses
that took siege of the Post Office, Matt and Eddy yearn for relief
after years of economic depression. Empathetic and tragic, "Waste
Heritage" has been praised as Canada's "Grapes of Wrath" and the
most important Canadian novel of the 1930s. A new critical
apparatus surrounds Baird's original text, informing the reader of
the historical and literary contexts of the work, as well as
providing exhaustive textual analysis.
Much of the scholarship on twentieth-century Canadian literature
has argued that English-Canadian fiction was plagued by
backwardness and an inability to engage fully with the movement of
modernism that was so prevalent in British and American fiction and
poetry. Modern Realism in English-Canadian Fiction re-evaluates
Canadian literary culture to posit that it has been misunderstood
because it is a distinct genre, a regional form of the larger
international modernist movement.Examining literary magazines,
manifestos, archival documents, and major writers such as Frederick
Philip Grove, Morley Callaghan, and Raymond Knister, Colin Hill
identifies a 'modern realism' that crosses regions as well as urban
and rural divides. A bold reading of the modern-realist aesthetic
and an articulate challenge to several enduring and limiting myths
about Canadian writing, Modern Realism in English- Canadian Fiction
will stimulate important debate in literary circles everywhere.
