About This Item
Toronto: Univ of Toronto Pr, 1995. Paperback. As New. 194 pp. incl. notes and index. B & W photographs. "... the most powerful unifying theme in Ontario tourism before the First World War was the tension and interplay between notions of civilization and wildness. If these ideas were the product of the European imagination, aided and abetted by the pervasive ideology of romanticism, they were nonetheless produced and perpetually recast for concrete social, political, and economic reasons. The nineteenth-century passion for wild things belongs to the history of ideas, but it belongs equally to the history of real people, real power, and real money." Excellent condition, unmarked, solid, very slight bumping of corners.
