Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1972. Book. Very Good. Trade Paperback. Facsimile. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xxv, 262; vii, 186. Two facsimile editions of Sangster's poetry under one cover. "Once called 'The Father of Canadian Poetry', Charles Sangster was much praised by his contemporaries. Charles Sangster's poetry reflects the cultural atmosphere of Canada West in the middle of the nineteenth century. As Gordon Johnston points out, Sangster was the first to look poetically at the Canadian wilderness; and although the poet sees it as God's creation, he also recognizes its dangers and terrors. The two volumes reprinted here in the complete text have long been out of print. They will be welcomed by many who wish to read this important nineteenth century Canadian poet.".

Montreal: John Lovell & Kingston: John Creighton, 1860. First Edition. This and Sangsterís previous collection, The St. Lawrence and the Saguenay (1856), are regarded as the best and most important books of poetry produced in pre-confederation Canada and earned for their author, from some contemporary viewers, the title of the father of Canadian poetry. In addition to expressing the beauty of the Canadian landscape, and dealing with themes of love, religion and the spiritual life, the book shows his new interest in patriotic themes reflecting growing Canadian nationalism. Included are poems on the plains of Abraham and the death of Wolfe, and one on Sir Isaac Brock, written for the inauguration of the new monument erected at Queenston Heights. TPL 8849.
