About this book
The book is not primarily a survey, nor does it attempt to deal fully with any single author or work. Rather, by isolating certain themes and images it defines more clearly some of the features that recur in the mind, the mirror of our imaginative life.

Reviews
'…. Jones has produced what should stand as an indispensable work on writing in our country. It is important because it is a book that, indirectly, tells us as much about the Canadian mentality as about the writers who express it.' George Woodcock, Toronto Daily Star
