Sommario/riassunto

The Canadian Annual Review has become an indispensable reference work for all concerned with Canadian public affairs. Complied by a corps of Canadian scholars and experts, it offers both a concise, convenient record of the year's events and an authoritatibve appraisal of developments.The present volume covers events in a watershed year. In constitutional matters 1987 saw the most important even since the passage of the Constitutional Act of 1982: the Meech Lake Accord.In



the House of Commons, new drug patent legislation and a bill to control more tightly the influx of immigrants and refugees faced strenuous opposition. A proposal to reinstate capital punishment was rejected in a free vote.Overall the Canadian economy performed well, although slumping oil and gas prices continued to create problems in the western provinces, Ontario Premier David Peterson was re-elected, this time with an overwhelming Liberal majority. But the dominant story in Canadian newspapers throughout the year was free trade with the United States.

Sommario/riassunto

'New Readings on Women and Early Medieval English Literature and Culture' showcases current and original scholarship relating to women in Early Medieval English culture and in Early Medieval English studies and promises to stimulate new work in those areas. Recognizing the plasticity of gender structures, roles, and relations in Early Medieval English literature and culture as well as within the modern discipline of Early Medieval English Studies, the essays reveal pluralities of gender bequeathed to us and encourage us to rethink power/gender dynamics in our present moment.
