“The Guide’s entries are informative, and the book is a fine introduction to the lives of most English-Canadian novelists.” —World Literature Today
“These books are ideal reference tools for the small but growing reference collection on Canadian studies.” —American Reference Books Annual
“The biographies run about 1,000 to 2,000 words and are cleanly laid out and serviceable, with the authors portrayed in head-and-shoulder drawings. The writers of these biographies are often the top scholars in the field—Linda Hutcheon on Leonard Cohen, Peter Buitenhuis on E. J. Pratt—and so the calibre of writing and commentary is high.” —Canadian Materials
