Sommario/riassunto

Edward Taylor Fletcher was born in England in 1817 and arrived in Canada as a young boy. An important figure in Canadian literature, Fletcher's writing was almost entirely forgotten by history. This volume gathers Fletcher's essays and poems, writings that describe a nineteenth-century Canada far more cosmopolitan than what we might have imagined.
