Dry Water tells the story of Donald Strand, from the time of his arrival as a ten-year-old orphan at his relatives' Manitoba farm in 1890 to his apogee as a successful farmer. It recounts the crises he faces during a troubled marriage and the great stock market crash of 1929. His life parallels the growth and development of Manitoba during the same period.Stead considered Dry Water, written in 1934-1935, to be his crowning achievement. He was unable to find a publisher for it during his lifetime, although an abridged edition was published by Tecumseh Press in 1983. This new edition includes the complete typescript, a critical introduction, and explanatory notes that place this novel in its proper literary and historical context.

Robert D. Denham pursues his quest to uncoverthe links between Northrop Frye and writers and otherswho directly influenced his thinking but about whomhe did not write an extensive commentary.The first chapter is about Frye's reading of Patanjali,the founder of the philosophy of Hindu yoga, whilethe second, discusses cultural mythographerGiambattista Vico, literary history and poetic language.The focus of Frye's criticism was the verbal arts,but he also had an abiding interest in both the visualarts and music; hence Frye's admiration of J.S. Bach. The essay on Tolkien examines the tendency in literaryhistory to return from irony to myth, as well as the rolethat Tolkien played in Frye's fiction-writing fantasies.In subsequent chapters, Denham explores Frye'spreference for romance and his critique of realism,which run parallel to the views of Oscar Wilde, and theirstrong shared convictions about the centripetal thrustof art, and about criticism being as creative as literature. Frye's appreciation for Whitehead's conceptof interpenetration in Science in the Modern Worldbecame a key feature of Frye's speculations about thehighest reaches of literature and religion. Frye is clearlyindebted to Martin Buber, particularly his influentialmeditation I and Thou. Aristotle, an important influenceupon Frye, was partially filtered through R.S. Craneand his The Languages of Criticism and the Structureof Poetry. Finally, the relationship between Fryeand his Oxford tutor Edmund Blunden are explored,while the last is an essay on Frye and M.H. Abramson how Frye's critical project might be vieweddeveloped in Abrams's The Mirror and the Lamp.This book is published in English.-Robert D.

Bach sur Frye. Le chapitre sur Tolkien porte sur la tendance en histoire littraire de passer de l'ironie au mythe, mais aussi sur l'ascendant de Tolkien sur la fiction fantaisiste de Frye.Dans les chapitres suivants, Denham explore la prfrence de Frye pour le romantique et sa critique du ralisme, qui trouvent cho chez Oscar Wilde, de mme que leur conviction, partage, de l'importance de l'art, et de la critique comme tant aussi crative que la littrature. L'admiration de Frye pour le concept d'interpntration prsent dans leScience in the Modern Worldde Whitehead est devenue un lment cl des rflexions de Frye sur la porte de la littrature et de la religion.Denham explore aussi le lien entre Frye et Martin Buber, dont la mditationI and Thoul'a beaucoup inspir, et celui entre Frye et R.S.

Across more than twenty chapters, Future Horizons explores the past, present, and future of digital humanities research, teaching, and experimentation in Canada. Bringing together work by established and emerging scholars, this collection presents contemporary initiatives in digital humanities alongside a reassessment of the field's legacy to date and conversations about its future potential. It also offers a historical view of the important, yet largely unknown, digital projects in Canada. Future Horizons offers deep dives into projects that enlist a diverse range of approaches--from digital games to makerspaces, sound archives to born-digital poetry, visual arts to digital textual analysis--and that work with both historical and contemporary Canadian materials. The essays demonstrate how these diverse approaches challenge disciplinary knowledge by enabling humanities researchers to ask new questions. The collection challenges the idea that there is either a single definition of digital humanities or a collective national identity. By looking to digital engagements with race, Indigeneity, gender, and sexuality--not to mention history, poetry, and nationhood--this volume expands what it means to work at the intersection of digital humanities and humanities in Canada today.
