Review
'Because of the accessible way in which such insights are presented, this book deserves a popular audience as well. It offers an evocative portrait of Canadian society at the turn of the century and detailed but accessible analysis of the attempts by organizers and participants to overcome, even if only for a fleeting moment, the ethnic and political divisions of the period ... The optimism of Lord Grey and others will undoubtedly prove inspiring to some readers and perhaps juvenile and na?ve to others. This book, itself, helps to prove something else - that detailed historical monographs written by university professors can be both educational and entertaining.' - Michael Dawson - The Beaver
