Opposite Contraries The Unknown Journals of Emily Carr and Other Writings

Her groundbreaking 1913 "Lecture on Totems", her first recorded writing on Native art and people, is also included, as are some of her most fascinating letters to friends and colleagues.Carr, Emily is the author of 'Opposite Contraries The Unknown Journals of Emily Carr and Other Writings', published 2007 under ISBN 9781553651109 and ISBN 1553651103.
