O Canada

This book, made up of studies of Canadian writers and books, represents perhaps the first attempt on the part of an American critic to deal at the same time with the literatures of both French and English Canada. Among the authors discussed are Morley Callaghan, Hugh MacLennan, John Buell, E.J. Pratt, Anne Hebert, Marie-Claire Blais, Roger Lemelin and Andre Laugevin. Mr. Wilson also makes use of history, biography, and journalism to throw light on religious and political crises in Canada.
