REAPPRAISALS: CANADIAN WRITERS

REAPPRAISALS: CANADIAN WRITERS was begun in 1973 in response to a need for single volumes of essays on Canadian authors who had not received the critical attention they deserved or who warranted extensive and intensive reconsideration. It is the longest running series dedicated to the study of Canadian literary subjects. The annual symposium, hosted by the Department of English at the University of Ottawa, began in 1972 and the following year University of Ottawa Press published the first title in the series, The Grove Symposium. Since then our editorial policy has remained straightforward: each year to make permanently available in a single volume the best of the criticism and evaluation presented at our symposia on Canadian literature, thereby creating a body of work on and a critical base for the study of Canadian writers and literary subjects.
