ISBN: 9781442643772 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book presents a rich body of evidence to illustrate the extent to which Canadians have been producing avant-garde art since the start of the twentieth century. Betts explores the radical literary ambitions and achievements of...

In The Last Canadian Poet Sam Solecki offers the first book-length study of the entire body of work of Al Purdy.

This book takes into account not only Purdy's more than forty published books, but also the manuscripts from the Purdy archives at the University of Saskatchewan and Queen's University. It is the first serious study of Purdy's work since George Bowering's monograph... In The Last Canadian Poet Sam Solecki offers the first book-length study of the entire body of work of Al Purdy.
