This fascinating study explores a remarkable ethnic-Canadian literature in close textual and contextual terms for the first time. It lays a groundwork for future comparative research in the field of ethnic Canadian studies, and challenges assumptions about cultural identity and human experience of the "new."

"Northrop Frye has commented that a critic's literary output should be set on a par with that of a literary artist.... Dr. Neijmann's book will not make the bards shudder; it is an intelligent survey by a brilliant young scholar, which can only heighten the appreciation of Icelandic-Canadian literature to the English reading world." - Kevin Jon Johnson, Lsgberg-Heimskringla (The Icelandic Weekly Newspaper)
