Avant-Folk argues that the merging of the demotic with the avant-garde is but one of the many consequences of a particularly vibrant period of creative exchange when this network of poets, publishers, and artists expanded considerably the possibilities of small press publishing. Avant-Folk explores how, from this still largely unexplored body of work, emerge new critical relations to place, space, and locale. Paying close attention to the transmission of demotic cultural expressions, this study of small press poetry networks also revises current assessments regarding the relationship between the cosmopolitan and the regional and between avant-garde and vernacular, folk aesthetics. Readers of Avant-Folk will gain an understanding of how small press publishing practices have revised these familiar terms and how they reconceive the broader field of twentieth-century British and American poetry. 606 $aEnglish poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSmall presses$zGreat Britain 606 $aSmall presses$zUnited States 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSmall presses 615 0$aSmall presses 676 $a821.91409 700 $aHair$b Ross$f1978-$0952271 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156404303321 996 $aAvant-folk$92788938 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05111nam 22005415 450 001 9910590070103321 005 20220826150045.0 010 $a9783031038877$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9783031038860 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-03887-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7078060 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7078060 035 $a(CKB)24748187300041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-03887-7 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924748187300041 100 $a20220826d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aLessons from a Successfully Export-Oriented, Resource-Rich Economy $eQuantitative Adventures into Canada's Past /$fby Morris Altman 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (472 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Altman, Morris Lessons from a Successfully Export-Oriented, Resource-Rich Economy Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783031038860 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1 Introduction: Myth and Reality in Canadian Economic History -- 2 Back to the Future: Reflections on the Canadian Economy in International Context -- 3 Growth Theory and Economic History: A Staple Perspective -- 4 Economic Growth and Development in Early Canada -- 5 The Economic Impact of the Seigniorial Tenure in Early Canada -- 6 Quebec Agriculture in the Mid-Nineteenth Century: Comparing French Canadian and Non-French Farmers -- 7 Economic Development with High Wages: Economic Development in Central Canadian Manufacturing at the Turn of the Twentieth Century -- 8 Resource Endowments and Economic Development: Why Location and the Bounties of Nature Can't Explain Quebec's Laggard Economic Performance in the Pre-World War One Period -- 9 Railways as an Engine of Economic Growth?

Much depends on the institutions that help frame the decision-making process that affects the process of growth and development. Canada is an example of a successful export-oriented economy. And, its export-orientation has been a focal point of discussion and debate, going way back to discussions of the early fur trade, the fishing industry, wheat farming, and mining and oil and gas exploration. Unlike other economies well-endowed with natural resources, Canada does not appear to be at all cursed, but rather blessed with natural resource abundance. This book, which ranges from the late seventeenth to the early twentieth century, provides insights from Canadian economic history on how such abundance can be a handmaiden of successful growth and development. From this perspective, the natural resource curse appears to be more of a 'man-made' phenomenon than anything else. This book also investigates aspects of gender inequality in Canada as well as the evolution of hours worked as it intersects with worker preferences and 'market forces'. The narratives in this book are contextualised by the construction of new or significantly revised data sets, which speaks to the importance of data construction to robust economic analysis and economic history.
