A highly readable, informal study, this book explores the changing attitudes of Canadians that accompanied the many political, social, and technological developments in the hundred years between the War of 1812-14 and World War I. Illuminating the book with fresh perceptions as a writer of literature, Woodcock discusses th War of 1812 in myth and actuality, class, the Tory and radical trends in Canada, attitudes to women and to the native peoples, ethnic groups and their relationships, and the mystique of the land and how it led painters and writers towards a genuine Canadian tradition.
