Description

The field of Canadian history has changed and expanded greatly in the last ten years. In these two volumes, which replace the Reader's Guide to Canadian History, experts provide a select and critical guide to historial writing about pre- and post-Confederation Canada, with an emphasis on the most recent scholarship. The guides, therefore, provide quick and easy access to essential material in any subject area for students or for readers seeking direction for broadening their understanding of particular periods, themes, or topics.

About the author

A professor of history at Mount Saint Vincent University, M. Brook Taylor has become an expert in the banks fishery and schooners at the turn of the 20th century. He is the curator of an exhibition at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (Halifax, Nova Scotia) that presents Frederick William Wallace's photographs to the public for the first time. He has given lectures about Frederick William Wallace in Canada and Japan, and has been published in the Journal of Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society. In A Camera on the Banks, Taylor presents the story of a fishery on the brink of change and the pioneering photojournalist who documented it so lovingly.
