This fascinating study explores a remarkable ethnic-Canadian literature in close textual and contextual terms for the first time. It lays a groundwork for future comparative research in the field of ethnic Canadian studies, and challenges assumptions about cultural identity and human experience of the "new."
About the author
Editorial Reviews
"Northrop Frye has commented that a critic's literary output should be set on a par with that of a literary artist.... Dr. Neijmann's book will not make the bards shudder; it is an intelligent survey by a brilliant young scholar, which can only heighten the appreciation of Icelandic-Canadian literature to the English reading world." - Kevin Jon Johnson, Lsgberg-Heimskringla (The Icelandic Weekly Newspaper)
