Description

Although he is perhaps better known as a poet, Duncan Campbell Scott's many short stories are worthy of attention for their quiet power and enduring readability. This volume brings together a selection of stories that range across many diverse settings: a typical village of nineteenth-century Quebec, a genteel household in the Ottawa of the 1870s, and the isolation of an Indian village on the north short of Lake Superior, among others. Published in English.

About the authors

Duncan Campbell Scott (1862-1947) was a Canadian bureaucrat, Canadian poet and prose writer. With Charles G.D. Roberts, Bliss Carman, and Archibald Lampman, he is classed as one of Canada's Confederation Poets. Scott was a Canadian lifetime civil servant who served as deputy superintendent of the Department of Indian Affairs from 1913 to 1932, and is better known today for advocating the assimilation of Canada’s First Nations peoples in that capacity.
