The Future of Canadian Literature - Autobiographical Writings

Arthur Conan Doyle

Beschreibung

In The Future of Canadian Literature, Arthur Conan Doyle dons the mantle of cultural observer and literary prophet, offering a compelling meditation on the potential of Canada's national voice. Based on his observations during his North American tours, Doyle reflects on the raw, untapped literary talent of Canada—its vast landscapes, unique history, and developing identity—and argues that these elements are fertile ground for a literary renaissance. In this brief yet powerful essay, Doyle encourages Canadian writers to break free from imitation and forge their own narrative path, inspired by the richness of their land and people. Both a tribute and a challenge, this is Doyle at his most thoughtful and optimistic—championing a literary awakening that would reflect Canada's soul and define its place on the global stage.

Lieutenant General James...

F. Gregory Toretta

A “fascinating and informative” reassessment of the underappreciated Confederate general’s achievements and ahead-of-his-time military strategy (Midwest Book Review). Lieutenant-General James Longstreet, commander of the First Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, was a brilliant tactician and strategist. Prior to the Civil War there were many technological developments, of which the rifled musket and cannon, rail transport, and the telegraph were just a few. In addition, the North enjoyed a great advantage in manpower and resources. Longstreet adapted to these technological changes and the disparity between the belligerents, making recommendations on how the war should be fought. Longstreet made a mental leap to adjust to this new type of warfare. Many others didn’t make this leap, including Lee, Jackson, Bragg, Hood, and Jefferson Davis, and Longstreet’s advice went unheeded. In contrast to many southern generals, he advocated for defensive warfare, using entrenchments and trying to maneuver the enemy to assault his position, conserving manpower, resources, and supplies. With the advent of the highly accurate and long-range rifled musket, offensive tactics became questionable and risky. This caused Longstreet to come into conflict with General Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg, and with General Bragg at Chickamauga. Longstreet, a pragmatic and methodical general, was never given full authority over an army in the field. Had his suggestions been utilized there would have been a better outcome for the South. Many historians and biographers have misunderstood Longstreet and his motives, but this work offers a fresh perspective. It takes a new viewpoint of the Civil War and the generals who tailored their designs to pursue the war, analyzes Longstreet’s views of the generals and the tactics and strategy they employed, and examines why Longstreet proposed and urged a new type of warfare.
