http://canlitbooks.ca
A rare, comprehensive, illustrated website featuring Canadian books and authors from the mid-nineteenth century to the early 21st century in chronological order. Gives a ton of information on who the well-known, good, and great Canadian authors and books once were. Includes photos of authors, books, ephemera, and even signatures. This is the kind of information once only available from university CanLit courses back in the 1960s and ’70s. And the kind of concise overview information found nowhere else online or in books. Especially interesting for anyone wanting to get to know the foundations and main sweep of our country’s literature and writers.
