After a long career on what he calls the editorial side-lines of Canadian literature, William Toye has written this regional introduction to 121 authors an their books. Covering the Maritimes, Newfoundland, Quebec, and Ontario up to and including Michael Ondaatje (among Ontario writers who began publishing in hte 1960s), he is a knowledgeable and exhilarating exponent for readers who have only a random awareness of the literature. He draws them into many books, and various literary developments, with descriptions that are compelling and clear. Toye's retirement speech, given at the end of his career at the Oxford University Press, is a germane addendum.
