When Canadian Literature Moved to New York

‘By the last decade of the nineteenth century, New York City had established itself as the publishing capital of the United States, drawing many of the country’s great writers.

This meticulously researched and engagingly written book chronicles, for the first time, a crucial phase in the literary history of Canada.’ -Jeffrey Wollock (New York City), Visiting Professor, Department of Performance Studies, Texas A&M UniversityMount, Nick is the author of 'When Canadian Literature Moved to New York ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780802094858 and ISBN 0802094856.
