Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Christopher, Peter (illustrator). New, With A Small Tear To The Dust Jacket Bottom Edge. For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos A Heavyweight Is Canada 1892: Portrait Of A Promised Land , In Which Peter Newman Argues That 100 Years Ago Canada Confronted Many Of The Same Challenges It Faces Today, Notably Regional Discontent, Quebec Nationalism, And Free Trade. He Also Maintains That 1892 Was A Crucial Year In The Formation Of The Nation's Identity, Both In The Construction Of Emblematic Edifices Such As Queen's Park And The Chateau Frontenac, And In Culture And Politics. It Was The First Year After John A. Macdonald's Death, And The Debut Of The Stanley Cup. Pauline Johnson Gave Her First Public Reading And Archibald Lampman, Duncan Campbell Scott And Others Inaugurated The Toronto Globe's Mermaid Inn Column. While Engaging In Some Of The Generalizations That Madden More Academic Historians, Newman Makes A Good Case For His Contention. He First Reviews The Political, Social, And Cultural Currents Of The Year, And Then Examines The 1892 State Of The Nation From East To West. Illustrations Abound: Maps, Political Cartoons, Art, And Photographs Of The Era, As Well As Peter Christopher's Recent Photos Of Enduring Landmarks. Newman's Style Is As Enjoyable As Ever, But On The Whole The Book Resembles The Overstuffed Victorian Living-Rooms It Describes: Every Square Inch Full Of Curios And Art, When More Space Might Have Improved The Impact Of Its Best Pieces.
