This second edition of the popular one-volume Anthology of Canadian Literature in English provides the essential texts for students and readers alike. Balancing the canon as it has traditionally been presented with the broader perspectives that have emerged in recent years, it highlights the connections between various authors and their works, setting tradition and innovation in dialogue.
Selections by prominent writers such as E.J. Pratt, Margaret Avison, Mordecai Richler, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, and Rohinton Mistry have been revised and updated throughout. Additions range from the eighteenth-century Piegan chief Saukamapee and the explorer Sir John Franklin to such contemporary writers as Carol Shields. Thomas King, Jane Urquhart, Anne Carson, Tomson Highway, Jan Zwicky, George Elliott Clarke, and Stephanie Bolster. As well as full annotations for all selections, the volume includes an introductory overview of Canadian literature, detailed headnotes on the life and work of each author, and occasional brief essays on genres and historical moments

I'd probably have hated this book a bit less if I weren't obligated to get it for a university course I was taking that was being taught by the book's authors.
