Profiles in Canadian Literature is a wide-ranging series of essays on Canadian authors. Each profile acquaints the reader with the writer’s work, providing insight into themes, techniques, and special characteristics, as well as a chronology of the author’s life. Finally, there is a bibliography of primary works and criticism that suggests avenues for further study.

"This is not a book specifically for the common reader, though it is certainly interesting. It will be useful for teachers and students, and should be in all library reference sections."
