Recenzje

'At long last Staines has given readers a credible and stolid text that takes them through Canadian fiction … I'm indebted to Staines and I think a great many other students and scholars of - dare I say 'our'? - literature will be, too.' Shane Neilson, Canadian Literature - A Quarterly of Criticism and Review
