Popis: In three important essays — "Nationhood," "Canadians Old and New," and "Assimilation" — Frederick Philip Grove addresses the fundamental question of Canada’s identity and discusses the role of the European immigrant in the nation. The essays are significant since they constitute Grove’s participation in the heated national debate on immigration in the late 1920s. They also clarify a number of ideas which are central to his fiction: the opposition of spiritual and material values, the psychology of the immigrant, the relationship of the generations, and Grove’s views on society in general.
