DOWNLOAD EBOOKDrawing on a wide variety of newly available source material, Angela McAuliffe examines the roots of Pratt's religious attitudes, including his strict Methodist upbringing in Newfoundland and his plans to enter the ministry. She explores Pratt's early prose and unpublished poetry, including his theses on demonology and Pauline eschatology and the unpublished poem "Clay," to trace the origins of religious ideas and motifs that occur in his later work. McAuliffe focuses on key motifs in Pratt's poetry, such as his image of a distant and formidable God, his apocalyptic vision of the world, and his belief in determinism and fate. She concludes that the diversity of religious positions attributed to Pratt and the image of God that emerges from his poetry are facets of the ironic vision of a man of twentieth-century sensibility who wrestled with God and sought a medium of expression equal to his themes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the final volume of the Collected Works of A.M. Klein, Elizabeth Popham completes the process of restoring the public voice of one of Canada's most respected authors. A.M. Klein: The Letters is the first compilation of a significant body of Klein's correspondence. Using his communications to construct a compelling narrative, Popham traces Klein's career from his apprenticeship to great critical success and his tragically premature silence. The content of Klein's letters gives new resonance to his works, most notably to his critically acclaimed novel The Second Scroll (1951) and his Governor General Award-winning The Rocking Chair and Other Poems (1948). In his exchanges with publishers and scholars, Klein glosses his own writing and argues for the integrity of his poetic vision. Samplings of his correspondence with Seagram's Distilleries clarify Klein's controversial role as ghost-writer and PR consultant for Sam Bronfman. A valuable resource for understanding Canadian literary modernism, diasporic Judaism, and the culture of Montreal, A.M. Klein: The Letters is a remarkable portrait of an important Canadian literary figure of the twentieth century. Elizabeth Popham is an associate professor in the Department of English Literature at Trent University

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMildred Hunter Thiermann's life story and spiritual journey span multiple worlds. Born a century ago in central Ontario, she experienced the twentieth century as an adventure of religious exploration and political discovery. The daughter of a progressive minister in the United Church of Canada, Mildred's early embrace of the Quaker faith and her marriage to an American conscientious objector at the close of WW II opened her heart to transformative spiritual awakenings as she traveled from Canada to sojourns in the United States, Europe, New York City, and finally her spiritual world. "Among birthright Quakers I call myself a birthright Methodist," she quotes. Her story reflects the quest of feminist religious seekers throughout the Western World "who seek to know God" through the lens of political action, social justice, international organization, and family.
